SELAGINELLAS. 



THE Selaginellas are closely allied to the Ferns, and, as they succeed perfectly under similar 

 conditions, are extremely valuable for associating with them. Some kinds are very 

 popular, notably S. Kraussiana, or denticulata as it is often called, which forms a 

 spreading, Moss-like plant of quick growth, and is much used for carpeting bare 

 surfaces, for edgings, and similar purposes. The Selaginellas vary greatly in size, 

 from the little S. apoda, which forms a dense mass not more than 2in. high, to the 

 20ft. or more of S. Wildenovi. Varying as they do, no general mode of culture can be given 

 for the whole of them. The majority need stove treatment and a moist atmosphere, but still 

 some of them will succeed in a greenhouse. Most of them may be grown in shallow pans, and 

 where a collection is brought together in this way it forms a charming and most interesting 

 feature. Again, some of the trailing kinds which do not root deeply may be allowed to grow on 

 the surface of large pots or in similar positions, while in the case of Ferns grown in hanging 

 baskets a few pieces of Selaginella will grow and form quite an additional feature. All the 

 Selaginellas, but more particularly the stove kinds, need a light, well-drained soil, with plenty 

 of water, and a fairly humid atmosphere. A selection of the best is herewith given.
