Hi Ferdy, there's been a mis-ID, this is a Lycopod, not a Montiaceae.

  Fixed. According to The plant list and Wikipedia it should be Huperzia brevifolia but the Catalogue of life accepts Phlegmariurus brevifolius so I left it.

  However, I'm not sure if this is the correct species here because I find a different plant with this ID. What is your reference?

I got it from a publication from the Humboldt institute on the flora of Colombian paramos (p. 218).
