Selaginella kraussiana is a species of vascular plant in the family Selaginellaceae.[2] It is referred to by the common names Krauss' spikemoss,[3] Krauss's clubmoss,[4] or African clubmoss, and is found naturally in parts of Sub-Saharan Africa and in Macaronesia.[5] It is sometimes given the misnomer of “peacock fern”, due to its lacy leaf structure, despite having no relation to actual ferns; rather, it belongs to the very ancient lineage of plants known as the clubmosses.
