Selaginella lineolata

Selaginella lineolata is a Mexican and Guatemalan spikemoss of mid elevations (about 900–2,200 m) in western and central Mexico. Its recorded sites have a marked dry season from November to May, so unlike rainforest spikemosses it probably tolerates a drier, cooler winter; details of its habitat were not reachable.

Where it grows wild

Probably shaded banks and rocks in seasonally dry montane or oak forest; this is inferred from the climate of the recorded sites, not from a habitat description.

Recorded at 914–2,162 m, median about 1,375 m.
