| Huperzia selago (L.) Bernh. ex Schrank & Mart. | |
| Publ. & Syn. | Schrank & Mart., Hort. Reg. Monac.: 3 (1829). - Lycopodium selago L., Sp. Pl.: 1102 (1753). Lectotype (UPS): Europe. Herb. Burser XX:52 (Jonsell and Jarvis 1994: 147). |
| Notes | Elven and Solstad: Huperzia selago s. str. is temperate to boreal and barely penetrates the Arctic. Wagner Jr. and Beitel (1993) did not report it from Greenland. We accept it from two Greenland regions on the basis of specimens from the southwest (Kangerssunaq; ALA) and the southeast (Lindenowfjord: Narsak; O). The much more extensive Greenland collections in Copenhagen (C) have not been studied. There is one collection of H. selago s. str. from the Arctic in northwestern Iceland (Hesteyri; ICEL). The studied collections of Huperzia from the Arctic in mainland Norway belong to H. appressa. |
