Selaginella epipubens

A Cuban spikemoss described by Caluff and Shelton in 2009. There are no georeferenced records, so the conditions come from a single modelled site in central Cuba, which has a pronounced winter dry season. Care is extrapolated from other Caribbean forest Selaginella.

Where it grows wild

No habitat details were reachable. It is presumably terrestrial or on rocks in shaded Cuban forest; many Cuban Selaginella grow on limestone.

No elevations recorded; the modelled site is at about 170 m.
