Selaginella kraussiana, sometimes known by the common names of Krauss's spikemoss and African clubmoss, is a clubmoss found naturally in the Canary Islands, the Azores and parts of mainland Africa [1].

S. kraussiana is listed on the New Zealand National Pest Plant Accord since it is an invasive species. It is common in many parts of New Zealand where it forms dense mats in shaded areas.[2]

S. kraussiana is cultivated for ornamental purposes[3]
