Standard Cyclopedia of Horticulture

Lycopodium (Greek, wolf-foot). Lycopodiaceae. Club-Moss. Ground-Pine. Running-Pine. A group of pteridophytes, with erect or trailing stems, commonly used for holiday decorations.

Leaves narrow, needle- or scale-like, arranged in 4 to many ranks, and bearing spores in sporangia, located either in the axils of ordinary lvs. or in the axils of modified lvs. clustered in spikes.—About 100 species are known. The spores of some species form the officinal lycopodium powder. The plants which florists grow as lycopodiums are selaginellas. Horticulturally, the species of Lycopodium are valuable mainly as oddities. The hardy species are not always easy to get started, and the tender species need special cult, for good results. See Selaginella.
