Selaginella kriegeriana

Selaginella kriegeriana is a spikemoss described in 2018 and known only from a small area of the Atlantic Forest in south-eastern Brazil. Little is published on its ecology, so the conditions here are built from the measured climate at its collection sites and from how related forest-floor Selaginella grow.
