- In California and other places on the west cost, I have seen a land plant in
- the Lycopodium family passed off as a water plant.
-
- The Lycopodium's are in a group called the Club Mosses and some of them are
- called "running Pine" or "pine club moss"
-
- This may be what you are looking at. I have seen this over and over again and
- I don't like it. None of the Lycopodiums can live under water or have there
- feet wet all the time....
-
- I hope this helps
