Selaginella densiciliata

Selaginella densiciliata is a spikemoss described from Tibet (Xizang) in 2023 and placed in subgenus Heterostachys. Only the published description exists, and there are no wild records. The climate figures come from a central Tibetan plateau point, which is almost certainly not where it grows.

Where it grows wild

No habitat details could be read. Chinese members of subgenus Heterostachys are mostly small plants of damp, shaded forest banks and mossy rocks, and southeast Tibet has such forest at low to middle elevations.

The type elevation is unknown to us. The climate site at 4,575 m is a plateau point, not a collection site.
