Urostachys costaricensis Herter, (1958: 83) View in CoL .— Lycopodium costaricense (Herter) Morton (1964: 72) View in CoL . Type:— COSTA RICA: without special locality, Mar. 1908, Robert Ridgeway s.n. ( US 861.309).
Pendent, slender, 15–40 cm long. Shoots gradually heterophyllous, tapering from ca 10–25 mm in diam. incl. leaves at the base, to 3–5 (–7) mm distally, sometimes only slightly tapering. Stems excl. leaves 1–1.5 (–2) mm thick at the base. Leaves usually gradually modified, borne in irregular, alternating whorls of 3 (or 4), these 1.5–2 (–3) mm apart; leaves of basal divisions spreading to ascending or loosely appressed, often twisted to a vertical position, linear-lanceolate to linear-oblanceolate, 9–15 × 1–2 mm, almost flat or somewhat concave adaxially, softly to firmly herbaceous, with flat or slightly revolute, entire margins. Leaves of middle and distal divisions usually gradually shorter, narrower and more appressed, conform, or abaxially convex, with involute margins. Leaves of fully sporangiate divisions 6-ranked, with a widened, clasping base, often contracted into a short to long, narrow, involute apex, 2–5 × 1–1.5 mm. Sporangia 1–1.2 mm wide.
Distribution:— Costa Rica, Panamá.
Habitats:—Epiphytic in montane forest, 1000–2100 m elev.
Notes:—Closely related to Phlegmariurus taxifolius , and differing mainly in its smaller size. Intermediate specimens occur, making the distinction of the species difficult.
