Located in the Anza-Borrego Desert State Park.Accompanied by my wife Brenda, and my son Anthony Baniaga who's a Phd. student at U of A in Tucson, Arizona. He determined that this Selaginella was eremophila. We were lucky in that it had rained lightly 2 days before our hike. The Selaginella was reponsive to the moisture allowing us to photograph a dense mat of stems , forking branches and small green leaves. The habitat was sandy and rocky allowing good drainage.
