Lycopodioides Cladorrhizans

Hairy clubmoss, scientifically known as Lycopodioides cladorrhizans, is a rare and ancient species of spore-bearing plant that belongs to the order Lycopodiales. Found primarily in the southeastern United States, this plant thrives in moist, shaded environments such as forests and wetlands. Its distinctive hairy appearance and club-like structures give it a unique visual appeal among primitive vascular plants. Despite its delicate form, it plays an important ecological role in its native habitat. However, due to habitat loss and environmental changes, it faces increasing threats to its survival.
