Selaginella deflexa (Deflexed Spikemoss) Brack. 1854
plant species in the selaginellaceae family
Selaginella deflexa, commonly known as deflexed spikemoss, is a non-flowering species of plant in the spikemoss genus Selaginella and is in the subgenus of the same name. It is closely related to Selaginella selaginoides which is the only other member in its subgenus. This subgenus is unique in that it lacks the rhizophores typically seen along the stems of other Selaginella species. It is endemic to Hawaii and grows primarily in the wet tropical biome. This plant gets its name from its reflexed leaves which point outwards.
