Huperzia phlegmaria (commonly known as either coarse tassel fern<\/b>,[4]<\/span><\/a><\/sup> or common tassel fern<\/b>[4]<\/span><\/a><\/sup>) is an epiphytic<\/span><\/a>[5]<\/span><\/a><\/sup> species of tassel fern<\/span><\/a> native to rainforests in <\/span>Madagascar<\/span><\/a>, some islands in the Indian Ocean, Asia, Australasia and many Pacific Islands.<\/span> Huperzia phlegmaria<\/i> is commonly found in moist forests and rainforsests at high altitudes; in and amongst mosses and other epiphytes.<\/span> Members of the order Lycopodiales<\/i> are commonly referred to as clubmosses<\/b>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

A vascular species of the phylum Lycopodiophyta<\/b>, Huperzia phlegmaria<\/i> resembles many species of moss. The specialised fluid conducting tissues of vascualr plants distinguish Lycophytes from the more basal Bryophytes (Mosses and Liverworts). The diploid sporophyte<\/i> stage of the life cycle of Lycophytes is dominant. Sporophytes produce tetrahedral spores of 37 x 35\u03bcm, off-white in colour, with angles never exceeding 130\u00b0.[6]<\/span><\/a><\/sup><\/span><\/div>\n
Huperzia phlegmaria<\/i> is a variable species and plants from different regions can vary widely in stature.[7]<\/span><\/a><\/sup> They can be identified by having petiolate sterile microphylls and small fertile microphylls on thin branching strobili.<\/span><\/div>\n
Individuals of Huperzia phlegmaria<\/i> have true root systems. Their elongated aerial stems hang from host trees (up to 80\u00a0cm long.[6]<\/span><\/a><\/sup> The spirally arranged leaves are lanceolate<\/b> (lance like), narrow and rounded at the base. They become even narrower at the extreme base, where the sporangia<\/b> are located in the fertile zone of the stem. Leaves of Huperzia phlegmaria<\/i> are coriaceous<\/b> (resemble leather). The leaves differ in morphology in the fertile zone, making distinction between the zones easy. Leaves in the fertile zone are known as sporophylls<\/b>. Sporophylls are club shaped – hence the common name “clubmoss”. Homosporous spores are produced in axils<\/b>.<\/span><\/div>\n
Huperzia phlegmaria<\/i> is native to east, west and south tropical Africa<\/b> (in <\/span>Cameroon<\/span><\/a>; <\/span>Comoros<\/span><\/a>; <\/span>Equatorial Guinea<\/span><\/a>; <\/span>Gabon<\/span><\/a>; <\/span>Ghana<\/span><\/a>; <\/span>Madagascar<\/span><\/a>; <\/span>Malawi<\/span><\/a>; <\/span>S\u00e3o Tom\u00e9 & Pr\u00edncipe<\/span><\/a>; <\/span>Sierra Leone<\/span><\/a>; <\/span>Tanzania<\/span><\/a> (including the <\/span>Zanzibar Archipelago<\/span><\/a>); and <\/span>Uganda<\/span><\/a>); temperate and tropical Asia<\/b> (in the <\/span>Chinese<\/span><\/a> provinces<\/span><\/a> of <\/span>Guangdong<\/span><\/a>, <\/span>Guangxi<\/span><\/a>, <\/span>Hainan<\/span><\/a>, <\/span>Yunnan<\/span><\/a>; the southern <\/span>Japanese<\/span><\/a> prefecture<\/span><\/a> of <\/span>Kyushu<\/span><\/a>, and the <\/span>Ryukyu Islands<\/span><\/a>; <\/span>Malaysia<\/span><\/a>; <\/span>Sri Lanka<\/span><\/a>; <\/span>Taiwan<\/span><\/a>; and <\/span>Thailand<\/span><\/a>); Australasia<\/b> (in the northeast of <\/span>Queensland<\/span><\/a> in <\/span>Australia<\/span><\/a>; and <\/span>New Zealand<\/span><\/a>); and the northwest and southwest Pacific<\/b> (in <\/span>Fiji<\/span><\/a>; <\/span>Guam<\/span><\/a>; and the <\/span>Chuuk<\/span><\/a> island group of <\/span>Micronesia<\/span><\/a>).[4]<\/span><\/a><\/sup> It is likely native, but yet to be reported, in other <\/span>paleotropic<\/span><\/a> locales.[4]<\/span><\/a><\/sup><\/span><\/div>\n

Huperzia phlegmaria<\/i> ???<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

I agree with\u00a0…<\/p>\n

\n
Yes, definitely Huperzia phlegmaria<\/i>.<\/div>\n
The two blind tailors of PPG -1 preferred Phlegmariurus phlegmaria<\/i>, but that clado-genus has no recognisable characters or distinction and I certainly don’t follow it any more that the rest of their appalling failure of a classification!<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
