Selaginella lindhardtii

Selaginella lindhardtii is a little-documented spikemoss from peninsular Thailand, known in GBIF from a single lowland record. Nothing about its ecology was reachable, so these conditions come from the measured climate at that site and from what suits lowland forest-floor Selaginella: warm, shaded, constantly moist and very humid.
