Selaginella marosensis

Selaginella marosensis is a spikemoss endemic to Sulawesi, described by Alderwerelt van Rosenburgh. Specimens record it on limestone rocks around 1075 m near Soroako and in rainforest and forest openings at 500–600 m. It suits a warm-intermediate, very humid terrarium with low light and a limestone-rich substrate.

Where it grows wild

Collection labels give limestone rocks on Mt. Wawonseru south-west of Soroako (1075 m), rainforest at 500 m, an opening in primary forest at 600 m, and scrub forest in the south-east. Its name suggests the Maros limestone karst of South Sulawesi.

Recorded at 500–1075 m.
