Selaginella cruciformis

Selaginella cruciformis is a Venezuelan spikemoss described in 1976 by Crabbe and Jermy from Alston's work. It is recorded at 1235–1500 m in the Cordillera de la Costa, a zone of montane and cloud forest. These conditions are built from the measured climate and from what suits montane forest Selaginella, and the measured rainfall is almost certainly too low.
