Lycopsida
Lycopodiopsida is a class of plants often loosely grouped as the , and includes the clubmosses. Lycopodiopsida traditionally included all the clubmosses, including Selaginella and Isoetes. However, subdivisions within the Division Lycopodiophyta are now considered ancient enough to warrant higher-level separation in accordance with cladistics. [more]
At least 2,982 species and subspecies belong to the Class Lycopsida.
