Subphylum Lycopsida
Like Whisk Ferns and Horsetails, Lycopods grew in great
profusion in the
distant past. The species that survive today are small
but 300 million years ago some
Lycopods were gigantic trees. Their remains form a
large part of the coal
deposits that we mine today. This group includes the
Clubmosses
(Lycopodiales) and the Spikemosses (Selaginellales)
which, despite their
common names, are not Mosses.
