Lycopodium serratum (Fern) / Tougeshiba トウゲシバ

 
Lycopodium serratum is an evergreen perennial fern growing in clusters on damp, shady forest floors, standing erect. Leaves are oblanceolate to long-oblong-lanceolate, the lower parts becoming petioles with uneven, sharp serrations and mid-ribs with no veins. Sori singly put themselves on the upper part's axils, mature in yellow, and split open sideways to give spores, and the stem tops put gemma (asexual buds), which fall and grow to new bodies. Spore stage: July-September.
