Bristly Clubmoss -- Spinulum annotinum

Mink River Preserve, near Ellison Bay, Door County, Wisconsin.

This plant was formerly in the genus Lycopodium. Here it is growing next to and over the rotting log of a paper birch (Betula papyrifera). I like the interesting character of birch bark with its many noticeable lenticels and peely bark. Both alive and dead it is an interesting tree to include in photos.

Lycopodium annotinum

LA: Lycopodium annotinum
Stiff / Bristly clubmoss
DE: Sprossender Bärlapp / Schlangen-Bärlapp
HU: Kígyózó korpafü

Here: giving off some spores, staining my lens.

As a clubmoss this plant belongs to the division of Lycopodiophyta, that is the oldest living (and extant) vascular plant division, about 410 million years old. So dinosaurs probably have been happily munching on them. These are fresh branches, without spore yet. Spore-bearing vascular plant.

Lycopodium annotinum

Bristly clubmoss (Lycopodium annotinum) in Norra Lunsen nature reserve, Uppland, Sweden.

Clubmosses are primitive, flowerless plants, thought to be structurally similar to the earliest vascular plants. They reproduce sexually by spores that are produced in cone-like clubs or strobili. The spores of clubmosses are water-repellent and rich in oil and are therefore highly flammable. Because of their water-repellency, they were used in powders to soothe chafed skin and as a dusting powder in surgery. Furthermore, the spores ignite explosively and were used by early photographers and theatre performers as flash powder. Due to these unusual properties, clubmoss spores were called witch’s flour.
