Selaginella grabowskyi

Selaginella grabowskyi is a Malesian spikemoss from Borneo, Sumatra and Java, described by Warburg in 1900. Little has been published about it; the single measured site, in Malaysian Borneo, is cool and constantly humid, which suggests hill or lower montane forest.

Where it grows wild

Presumed forest-floor or stream-bank Selaginella of humid hill forest; no species habitat notes were found.

The single record carries no elevation, but the site's temperatures (days about 24 C, nights about 19 C) suggest roughly 800-1200 m.
