  Spikemoss - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Spikemoss refers to any plant of the genus Selaginella in the family Selaginellaceae.
The spikemosses are creeping or ascendant plants with simple, scale-like leaves on branching stems from which roots also arise.
The plants are heterosporous (megaspores and microspores), and have structures called ligules, scale-like outgrowths near the base of the upper surface of each microphyll and sporophyll.

Parent material: Little spikemoss grows in the drier interior of British Columbia except for a disjunct population on dry, well-aerated and warm limestone soils on the Queen Charlotte Islands [49].
Any method of reducing little spikemoss would be most successful if done during a cycle of wet years on the mixed prairie, as drought would severely set back the recovery of desirable vegetation [1].
