Lycopodium
Sign in to saveLycopodium (from Ancient Greek lykos, wolf and podion, diminutive of pous, foot) is a genus of clubmosses, also known as ground pines or creeping cedars, in the family Lycopodiaceae. Two very different circumscriptions of the genus are in use. In the Pteridophyte Phylogeny Group classification of 2016 (PPG I), Lycopodium is one of nine genera in the subfamily Lycopodioideae, and has from nine to 15 species. In other classifications, the genus is equivalent to the whole of the subfamily, since it includes all of the other genera. More than 40 species are accepted.

Pseudodiphasium is a genus of lycophyte in the family Lycopodiaceae with only one species, Pseudodiphasium volubile. In the Pteridophyte Phylogeny Group classification of 2016 (PPG I), the genus is placed in the subfamily Lycopodioideae.[2] Some sources do not recognize the genus, sinking it into Lycopodium.[3] Pseudodiphasium volubile is native from Peninsular Malaysia to Queensland, Australia, and has been introduced into Ecuador.[1] References ^ a b c d Hassler, Michael (19 January 2023), "Pseudodiphasium", World Ferns.
