Hi Nancy, Oct 24, 2013
The moss looks lika a Dicranum.=20
The Clubmoss is Lycopodium annotinum and the entire structure, including =
the horizontal rhizome, is a sporophyte. Lycopodium, a practical Genus, =
was recently splintered into a starburst of Genera and I can't be =
bothered learning Subgenera promoted to Genera.
