Pseudolycopodium is a genus of lycophyte in the family Lycopodiaceae with only one species, Pseudolycopodium densum, known as the bushy clubmoss. In the Pteridophyte Phylogeny Group classification of 2016 (PPG I), the genus is placed in the subfamily Lycopodioideae. Some sources do not recognize the genus, sinking it into Lycopodium. Pseudolycopodium densum is native to Australia, the North Island of New Zealand and New Caledonia. It is a spore-bearing vascular plant and grows up to a metre high. It is found in a wide variety of situations, often in high rainfall areas on sandy soils.
Pseudolycopodium (as Lycopodium deuterodensum) grows in open forest, scrub or heath in eastern New South Wales, southern Victoria, Tasmania (including the Bass Strait Islands), Queensland, South Australia, the North Island and Chatham Islands of New Zealand and in New Caledonia.
