Lycopodium Reflexum Var. Majus

Staghorn clubmoss, scientifically known as Lycopodium reflexum var. majus, is a unique and ancient plant that has thrived for millions of years. Found primarily in moist, shaded environments, it plays a vital role in forest ecosystems by contributing to soil stability and providing habitat for small organisms. Its distinctive appearance, featuring branching stems and spore-producing cones, makes it easily recognizable among other clubmoss species. Despite its primitive structure, it exhibits complex reproductive strategies that have allowed it to survive through geological time. This plant serves as a living link to the evolutionary past, offering insights into early plant life on Earth.
