Huperzia Porophila
''Huperzia porophila'', the rock clubmoss or rock firmoss, grows throughout the Appalachian province of the Eastern United States and central Canada, from Ontario south to Georgia and Alabama. It is rare east of the Appalachians, being most common in a north–south belt along the western plateau area. ''Huperzia porophila'' grows only on or over rock and requires cool, moist, shaded, acid spots. It is a beautiful sight growing over boulders and outcrops. It is often confused with the shining firmoss (''Huperzia lucidula'') whose range it largely shares and which also often grows on rocks. The rock firmoss leaves, 3–8 mm long, are generally not shiny like those of the shining firmoss, and the ascending 12–15 cm stems are seldom branched. Unlike ''H. lucidula'', it only grows as individual plants and not as dense colonies. One of the best sites for viewing this species is in the Hocking Hills in southeast Ohio. This species is of hybrid origin, the parents b ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Francis Ernest Lloyd
Francis Ernest Lloyd (October 4, 1868 – October 10, 1947) was an American botanist. Life Lloyd was born in Manchester, England, and educated at Princeton University (A.B., 1891; A.M., 1895), in New Jersey, and in Europe at Munich and Bonn, in Germany. He was employed at various institutions of higher learning from 1891 onward. He served on the faculties of Williams College, Pacific University, Teachers College (Columbia University), Harvard Summer School, Alabama Polytechnic Institute (professor of botany, 1906–1912), and at McGill University, in Montreal, Quebec, Canada after 1912. Lloyd worked as an investigator in the Desert Botanical Laboratory of the Carnegie Institution in 1906 and as cytologist of the Arizona Experiment Station in 1907. He edited ''The Plant World'' from 1905 to 1908, and was co-author of ''The Teaching of Biology in the Secondary Schools'' (1904; second edition, 1914). Works Lloyd wrote: ''The Comparative Embryology of the Rubiaceae''(1902) * ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Hocking Hills
The Hocking Hills is a deeply dissected area of the Allegheny Plateau in Appalachian Ohio, primarily in Hocking County, that features cliffs, gorges, rock shelters, and waterfalls. The relatively extreme topography in this area is due to the Blackhand Sandstone (so named because of Native American graphics on the formation near Newark, Ohio), a particular formation that is thick, hard and weather-resistant, and so forms high cliffs and narrow, deep gorges. Component open-space areas Most of the more scenic areas of the region are under state ownership, including: * Hocking Hills State Park (with five use areas: Ash Cave, Cedar Falls, Old Man's Cave, Rockhouse, and Cantwell Cliffs) * Hocking State Forest * Conkle's Hollow State Nature Preserve *Sheick Hollow State Nature Preserve (entry by permit only) *Little Rocky Hollow State Nature Preserve (entry by permit only) * Kessler Swamp State Nature Preserve * Lake Logan State Park *Wayne National Forest *Rockbridge State Nature P ...

Flora Of The United States
The native flora of the United States includes about 17,000 species of vascular plants, plus tens of thousands of additional species of other plants and plant-like organisms such as algae, lichens and other fungi, and mosses. About 3,800 additional non-native species of vascular plants are recorded as established outside of cultivation in the U.S., as well as a much smaller number of non-native non-vascular plants and plant relatives. The United States possesses one of the most diverse temperate floras in the world, comparable only to that of China. Several biogeographic factors contribute to the richness and diversity of the U.S. flora. While most of the United States has a temperate climate, Alaska has vast arctic areas, the southern part of Florida is tropical, as well as Hawaii (including high mountains), and the U.S. territories in the Caribbean and the Pacific, and alpine summits are present on many western mountains, as well as a few in the Northeast.

Huperzia
''Huperzia'' is a genus of lycophyte plants, sometimes known as the firmosses or fir clubmosses; the ''Flora of North America'' calls them gemma fir-mosses. This genus was originally included in the related genus ''Lycopodium'', from which it differs in having undifferentiated sporangial leaves, and the sporangia not formed into apical cones. The common name ''firmoss'', used for some of the north temperate species, refers to their superficial resemblance to branches of fir (''Abies''), a conifer. , two very different circumscriptions of the genus were in use. In the Pteridophyte Phylogeny Group classification of 2016 (PPG I), ''Huperzia'' is one of three genera in the subfamily Huperzioideae of the family Lycopodiaceae. Most species in the subfamily are placed in the genus '' Phlegmariurus''. ''Huperzia'' is left with about 25 species, although not all have been formally transferred to other genera. Other sources recognize only ''Huperzia'', which then has about 340 species. M ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Huperzia Selago
''Huperzia selago'', the northern firmoss or fir clubmoss, is a vascular plant in the family Lycopodiaceae. It is small-ish, sturdy, stiff and upright and densely scale-leaved. This plant is an evergreen, perennial pteridophyte. The spores are produced June to September.Piirainen, Mikko; Piirainen, Pirkko; Vainio, Hannele (1999). ''Kotimaan luonnonkasvit'' 'Native wild plants''(in Finnish). Porvoo: WSOY. p. 14. It has a circumpolar distribution. Description The dichotomous stalk of the plant is 5-20 cm with the branches being of same length with one another. The leaves are densely spiral, flat and needle-like, 4-8 mm long. The sporangium are at the base of the leaves of the shoot's top. There are often bulbils in the leaf axils. Distribution and habitat It is a circumpolar plant, found in the northern parts of North America, Europe, and Asia. It is found in sandy pits, ditches, along lakeshores, heathland and in conifer swamps. In the northeastern United States, it is foun ...

Huperzia Lucidula
''Huperzia lucidula'' (also called the shining firmoss or shining clubmoss) is a bright, evergreen, rhizomatous clubmoss of the genus ''Huperzia''. They grow in loose tufts 14–20 cm long, occasionally up to 1 m long. The leaves are 7–11 mm long (shorter, 3–6 mm, at annual nodes) and narrow, lance-shaped, shiny, and evergreen. The edges are irregularly “toothed” with small serrations. The sporangia (spore cases) are nestled in the bases of the upper leaves. The roots of this plant grow from a creeping and branching underground rhizome. The shining firmoss is found in Canada from Manitoba in the west and east to Newfoundland; south into the United States, along the Eastern Seaboard to South Carolina, and west through to Missouri. Its preferred habitat is mainly rich, acidic soils in cool, moist coniferous or mixed hardwood forests, as well as near bogs, above stream banks, and on sheltered, low hillsides.
