Lycopodioides Chrysorrhizos

Lycopodioides chrysorrhizos is a rare and fascinating member of the spore-bearing plant group known as lycophytes. This primitive plant thrives in moist, shaded environments, often found in rocky crevices or forest floors. Its unique appearance features delicate, bright yellow roots and small, scale-like leaves. Despite its modest size, it plays an important ecological role in nutrient cycling and habitat support. Studying this plant offers valuable insights into the evolution of early land plants.
