Lycopodium Mollicomum

Lycopodium mollicomum is a rare and unique member of the clubmoss family known for its delicate, fern-like appearance. Native to the humid forests of Southeast Asia, this plant thrives in shaded, moist environments where it can flourish undisturbed. Its small, clustered spore cones make it a fascinating subject for botanists and plant enthusiasts alike. Despite its modest size, it plays an important role in its ecosystem by contributing to soil stability and providing habitat for tiny organisms. Due to habitat loss and overcollection, Lycopodium mollicomum is now considered a vulnerable species in the wild.
