"The beauty and longevity of this species makes it desirable to use it for making Christmas wreaths, which in turn make it vulnerable to exploitation. Grows only about a foot high, in moist sites in woods, thickets and clearings. This specimen was found in the Jersey Pine Barrens. Spores are used in toilet powders, coatings for pills, in certain kinds of fireworks. The first photographic cameras used Lycopodium spores as flash powders. Club-mosses have been boiled in water to make a medicinal tea that was cooled and used as an eye wash. At one time, fresh plants were put on the head to cure headaches and worn on clothing to ward off illness. Other names: Tree Clubmoss, Round Branched Clubmoss, Ground Pine. A member of the fern family, this image shows part of the stem that connects underground to the rhizome."
