Species: Lycopodium dendroideum
Encyclopedia of Puget Sound
Treelike Clubmoss resembles a miniature coniferous tree. The scattered, branched stems are 12-30 cm high and arise from deep rhizomes. Stems and branches are densely clothed in 6-8 ranks of narrow, sharp-pointed leaves that are 2-5 mm long. The spores, each subtended by a broadly lance-shaped bract, or sporophyll, are 2-4 mm long and are borne in dense, cone-like, brownish, 2-4 cm long spikes located at the tips of erect branches.
