About Selaginella denticulata (L.) Spring
Selaginella denticulata (L.) Spring is a small, moss-like plant that grows along the ground. Its stems branch dichotomously, and its leaves are arranged in four rows along the stems. Sporangia are produced near the tips of the branches; male sporangia are red, while female sporangia are green. This species is widespread across the Mediterranean basin, specifically recorded in Albania, Algeria, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Croatia, Cyprus, France (mainland France and Corsica), Greece (mainland Greece, several Aegean Islands, and Crete), Italy (mainland Italy, Sardinia, and Sicily), Lebanon, Malta, Montenegro, Morocco, Portugal (mainland Portugal and Madeira), Slovenia, Spain (mainland Spain and the Balearic Islands), Tunisia, and Turkey. It is most abundant in the western Mediterranean basin, and grows rarer further east.
