Elevation 8,800 ft. Since I am not currently doing underwater photography, I extracted samples from pond bottom and placed them on hat brim. The most remarkable feature, for me, are the crosswalls (septa) between chambers in the leaves.

lat. long. data approximate; S. watsonii leaves are generally appressed to stem but this seems to be more prevalent with exposed stems. I lifted a rock and beneath were stems that had more spreading leaves in this shaded or more protected location.

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.

mat on ledges of exposed cliff faces in a 1/2 mile long, narrow, steep walled, dry, slot canyon cut in flat lying pale, blocky, limestone strata by a intermittent arroyo tributary of Fresnal Creek, and sheltering a richly diverse flora of the remote, poorly accessible region known as Hell's Half-acre

Slo.: alpska dreica - Habitat: stony alpine grassland, almost flat terrain, open place, full sun; calcareous ground; exposed to direct rain; average precipitations ~ 3.000 mm/year, average temperature 0-2 deg C, elevation 1,970 m (6.450 feet), alpine phytogeographical region. - Substratum: soil. - Comment: Growing mostly solitary, but several plants in the vicinity. This is another plant which can be found only in subalpine and alpine elevations in Julian Alps. It belongs to ferns (Pterydophyta) and produces spores not seeds. Selaginellla selaginoides belongs to the family Lycopodiaceae, which is as a whole protected by the 'Uredba o zavarovanih prosto iveih rastlinskih vrstah', Ur.l. RS, t. 46/2004 (Regulation on protected wild plant species, Official Gazette of Republic Slovenia, no. 46 (2004)). There are at least two other at the first sight similar plants (Huperzia, Lycopodium) growing in Slovenia. However, distinctly and coarsely fringed tiny leaves of S. selaginoides clearly distinguish it from others. - Ref.: 1) A. Martini et all., Mala Flora Slovenije, Tehnina Zaloba Slovenije (2007), p 69.
