| + | '''''Selaginella''''' is a genus of plants in the family Selaginellaceae, the '''spikemosses'''. Many workers still place the Selaginellales in the class [[Lycopodiopsida]] (often misconstructed as "Lycopsida"). This group of plants has for years been included in what, for convenience, was called "[[fern ally|fern allies]]". |
| + | |
| + | Selaginellas are creeping or ascendant plants with simple, scale-like leaves on branching stems from which roots also arise. The plants are [[spore|heterosporous]] (megaspores and microspores), and have structures called ligules, scale-like outgrowths near the base of the upper surface of each [[microphyll]] and sporophyll. |

| + | |
| + | Many species of ''Selaginella'' are [[desert]] plants known as "resurrection plants", because they curl up in a tight, brown or reddish ball during dry times, and uncurl and turn green in the presence of moisture. Other species are tropical [[forest]] plants that appear at first glance to be [[fern]]s. |
