Diphasium scariosum
Diphasium scariosum, synonym Lycopodium scariosum, commonly known as spreading clubmoss or creeping club moss, is a species in the club moss family Lycopodiaceae. The genus Diphasium is accepted in the Pteridophyte Phylogeny Group classification of 2016 (PPG I), but not in other classifications which submerge the genus in Lycopodium.
Diphasium scariosum is found in coastal to subalpine environments in mossy roadside banks, shrubland and peaty ground. D. scariosum prefers well-drained clay or peaty soils.
