Dendrolycopodium hickeyi
Also called Pennsylvania Groundpine, Hickey's Tree-clubmoss, Hickey's Clubmoss, Intermediate Ground Pine, Pennsylvania Clubmoss
Dendrolycopodium hickeyi (synonym Lycopodium hickeyi) known as Hickey's tree club-moss or Pennsylvania clubmoss, is a North American species of clubmoss in the family Lycopodiaceae. It is native to eastern and Central Canada (from Newfoundland to Ontario with isolated populations in Saskatchewan) and the eastern and north-central United States (from Maine west to Minnesota and south as far as Tennessee and North Carolina). The genus Dendrolycopodium is accepted in the Pteridophyte Phylogeny Group classification of 2016 (PPG I), but not in other classifications, which submerge the genus in a larger Lycopodium.
D. hickeyi is native across the northeastern United States and Eastern Canada.Its range overlaps with several other lycophytes, including D. obscurum and D. dendroideum, which were previously classified as varieties of each other.It can be found in dry or mesic conifer forests, as well as forest openings, and prefers sandy soil shaded light conditions.
