		The shining firmoss is a striking little plant, with stems stiffly erect, dark green, and shiny, resembling a rock-cap moss on steroids.
		The shining firmoss is easily and often confused with the rock firmoss, Huperzia porophila, and the northern firmoss, Huperzia selago.
		The rock firmoss and northern firmoss are always found on rock, while the shining firmoss is typically terrestrial.

	Firmoss - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Firmosses are plants of the Lycophyte genus Huperzia.
		The name firmoss was coined to apply to this genus instead of clubmoss because of the recognition of the distinctness of this group.
		The spores are borne in kidney-shaped sporangia borne individually on the stem at the bases of unmodified or reduced leaves.

	Rock firmoss - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Rock firmoss (Huperzia porophila) grows throughout the Appalachian province of the eastern United States, but is rare east of the Appalachians, being most common in a north-south belt along the western plateau area.
		It is often confused with the Shining firmoss (Huperzia lucidula) whose range it largely shares and which also often grows on rocks.
		The rock firmoss leaves, 3-8 mm long, are generally not shiny like those of the Shining firmoss, and the ascending 12-15 cm stems are seldom branched.

	Rock firmoss
		The rock firmoss grows throughout the Appalachian province of the eastern United States, but is rare east of the Appalachians, being most common in a north-south belt along the western plateau area.
		This firmoss grows only on or over rock, and requires cool, moist, shaded, acid spots.
		It is often confused with the shining firmoss[?], Huperzia lucidula, which range it largely shares, but uniformly has eight-ranked leaves, while lucidula largely has six-ranked leaves and grows in seeps, generally not on rocks.

	Lycopsida
		The other major group is often termed the firmosses.
		This includes the genus Huperzia, which in turn includes such species as the shining firmoss, Huperzia lucidula, the rock firmoss, Huperzia porophila, and the northern firmoss, Huperzia selago.
		This group also includes the odd tuberous Australian plant Phylloglossum which was, until recently, thought to be only remotely related to the clubmosses.

	[No title]
		The rock firmoss is easily and often confused with the shining firmoss, Huperzia lucidula and with the northern firmoss, Huperzia selago.
		The rock firmoss is always found on rock, while the shining firmoss is typically terrestrial, in acid, moist, humus-rich ground.
		The rock firmoss can usually be distinguished from the northern firmoss simply because they have very different range, with little overlap, but the northern firmoss also has leaves in ranks of six.

	Devil's Crater - Lake Agassiz
		On the west-facing cliffs along some of the lakes they found three arctic alpine plants, Nahanni oak fern, smooth woodsia and showy locoweed, that are rare plant species in Ontario.
		North facing cliffs at Ottertooth Canyon support an exceptionally rich community of arctic alpine plants including Snowy Arnica, Appalachian Firmoss, Northern Woodsia and Northern Goldenrod.
		Although no botanical surveys have yet been completed at Devil's Crater, its similar cliffs probably also provide habitat for some interesting species.

	Lycopsida (Site not responding. Last check: )
		Lycopodiella cernua, a creeping clubmoss with erect growth
		The other major group, the Family Huperziaceae, are known as the firmosses.
		This group includes the genus Huperzia, such as the Shining firmoss, Huperzia lucidula, the Rock firmoss, Huperzia porophila, and the Northern firmoss, Huperzia selago.
