Latin Name:  Lycopodium campanulatum
Family:  Lycopodiaceae
Author:  L.

Known Hazards:  Although no records of toxicity have been seen for this species, a number of other members of this genus are said to be toxic and so some caution is advised.

Mature Height:     Mature Width:

Habitat:  Moist coniferous woods, lowland to moderate elevations in mountains.

Cultivation Notes: Thrives in a rough spongy peat in a shady position[1]. Requires a humid atmosphere[200]. Terrestrial members of this genus are hard to establish. The roots are delicate and liable to rot, most water being absorbed through the foliage[200]. There is some doubt as to the correct spelling of this species name. I have a feeling that it could be a mis-spelling of L. complanatum. Members of this genus are rarely if ever troubled by browsing deer[233]. Although looking more like a moss, this genus is closely related to the ferns[200].
