Lycopodiaceae, with two living genera — Lycopodiim axd
Phylloglossum. The sporophyte is herbaceous with erect or creping
stem, The stem has a single protostele. It is covered wih
microphyllous leaves without ligule. The leaf has a single vein. The
sporophyll and sterile foliage leaf may be similar or dissimilar. The
sporophylls may form compact cones or are loosely arranged. Esch
sporophyll has a single sporangium on the adaxial face near the
base. The development of sporangium is eusporangiate, Both genea
are homosporous. The gametophyte is monoecious and exospori,
and it is subterranean or partially exposed. It is usually associatal
with mycorrhiza. The life history of Lycopodium is described bere
