Selaginella cuneata

A spikemoss described by Mickel and Beitel in 1988 in their Pteridophyte Flora of Oaxaca, known from very few records in south-western Mexico. It comes from a region with a pronounced summer rainy season and a dry, sunny spring. Almost nothing about its habitat is accessible, so care is inferred.
