Diphasiastrum × Sabinifolium
''Diphasiastrum'' is a genus of clubmosses in the plant family Lycopodiaceae. In the Pteridophyte Phylogeny Group classification of 2016 (PPG I), it is placed in the subfamily Lycopodioideae. It is closely related to the genus ''Lycopodium'', and some botanists treat it within a broad view of that genus as a section, ''Lycopodium'' sect. ''Complanata''. Some species superficially resemble diminutive gymnosperms and have been given common names such as ground-pine or ground-cedar. There are 16 species, and numerous natural hybrids in the genus; many of the hybrids are fertile, allowing their occurrence to become frequent, sometimes more so than the parent species. The basal chromosome count for this genus is ''n=23'', which is distinctively different from other lycopods. Several species have been used economically for their spores, which are harvested as Lycopodium powder. Species , the ''Checklist of Ferns and Lycophytes of the World'' recognized the following species: *' ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Diphasiastrum Digitatum
''Diphasiastrum digitatum'' is known as groundcedar, running cedar or crowsfoot, along with other members of its genus, but the common name fan clubmoss can be used to refer to it specifically. It is the most common species of ''Diphasiastrum'' in North America. It is a type of plant known as a clubmoss, which is within one of the three main divisions of living vascular plants. It was formerly included in the superspecies ''Diphasiastrum complanatum''. For many years, this species was known as ''Lycopodium flabelliforme'' or ''Lycopodium digitatum''. Its common name is due to its resemblance to Cedrus, cedar boughs lying on the ground. Its leaves are scale-like and appressed, like a mature cedar, and it is glossy and evergreen. It normally grows to a height of about four inches (10 cm), with the spore-bearing strobili held higher. This plant was once widely harvested and sold as Christmas greenery, and populations were widely depleted for this reason. However, it has re ...

Diphasiastrum Madeirense

Over the centuries that followed, the islands have maintained a "remarkably uniform culture, biology and language". The Marquesas were named after the 16th-century Spanish Viceroy of Peru, the García Hurtado de Mendoza, 5th Marquis of Cañete, Marquis of Cañete (), by navigator , who visited them in 1595.
