Selaginella furcillifolia

A tropical Selaginella described by Hieronymus in 1910 from Borneo and Sulawesi, with only four Bornean GBIF records. The conditions are built from the measured, hot, always-wet lowland climate and the genus's typical shaded forest-floor habit.

Where it grows wild

Presumably a creeping or low plant of shaded, humid forest floor or banks, as in most Malesian Selaginella; the species' microhabitat was not checked. Three records are lowland; one is from about 900 m in Sabah.

Measured sites are at about 10–50 m, plus one at about 910 m.
