Wikipedia
club moss
Lycopodiopsida is a class of vascular plants known as lycopods, lycophytes or other terms including the component lyco-. Members of the class are also called clubmosses, firmosses, spikemosses and quillworts. They have dichotomously branching stems bearing simple leaves called microphylls and reproduce by means of spores borne in sporangia on the sides of the stems at the bases of the leaves. Although living species are small, during the Carboniferous, extinct tree-like forms formed huge forests that dominated the landscape and contributed to coal deposits. The nomenclature and classification of plants with microphylls varies substantially among authors. A consensus classification for extant (living) species was produced in 2016 by the Pteridophyte Phylogeny Group (PPG I), which places them all in the class Lycopodiopsida, which includes the classes Isoetopsida and Selaginellopsida used in other systems. (See Table 2.) Alternative classification systems have used ranks from division (phylum) to subclass. In the PPG I system, the class is divided into three orders, Lycopodiales, Isoetales and Selaginellales.

club moss
Club moss, scientifically known as Lycopodium, is a genus of moss-like vascular plants that are characterized by small, scale-like leaves containing a single, unbranched vascular strand. Club mosses are found worldwide and are usually woodland plants that prefer shaded areas. They are often creeping, mat-forming plants with cone-like clusters called strobili that produce spores. Despite their name, club mosses are not true mosses and are more closely related to ferns.
