Selaginella hyalogramma

A recently described spikemoss (Valdespino 2017) from Venezuela, known from only two GBIF records at about 480 m on the Andean foothills of Táchira. Nothing is published on its cultivation. The measured site is warm with a clear drier season, so shelter and constant moisture in a terrarium are the safe approach.

Where it grows wild

No habitat notes were found. The recorded site is in the foothill forest zone of the Venezuelan Andes; by analogy it probably grows on shaded soil or rocks in humid forest or ravines.

Only one site with climate data, at about 480 m.
