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 release spores. The stem tops
produce gemmae (asexual buds), which fall and grow to form new
bodies. Spore stage: July-September. |
