Ecology: —Rare; terrestrial and saxicolous on shady, humid river and stream banks, wet mossy rocks, roadbanks, or disturbed forests; 3000–3500 m.

Notes: —Most similar to Selaginella moritziana var. moritziana , which has lateral leaves more acuminate, sporophylls narrower, and leaves thicker-textured, darker green.
