Selaginella ayitiensis

A spikemoss endemic to Haiti, described by Valdespino and known from only two wild GBIF records. The one measured site is warm and fairly dry, with a dry season from December to April. Almost nothing about its ecology was found, so this is cautious, genus-level advice.

The records carry no elevations.
