Selaginella kurzii

A spikemoss of the monsoon hills of northern Thailand, Yunnan, Myanmar, Assam and Vietnam. Its sites have a hot, wet summer and a long, dry, cool winter, so it is a seasonal plant rather than an everwet rainforest one. Little is published on its care; the conditions here are built from the measured climate.

Where it grows wild

A terrestrial spikemoss of seasonal monsoon forest in the hills. Little is published on this species beyond its description, so the conditions here come from the measured climate and what is typical for the genus. Spikemosses of this climate usually grow on shaded banks, rocks and forest floor that stay moist in the rains.

The climate sites lie at about 565–1500 m. GBIF records rarely give an elevation.
