The Lycopodiaceae (class Lycopodiopsida, order Lycopodiales) are a family of vascular plants, including all of the core clubmosses. These plants bear spores on specialized structures at the apex of a shoot; they resemble a tiny battle club, from which the common name derives. They are non-flowering and do not produce seeds. The genera ''Huperzia'', ''Phlegmariurus'' and ''Phylloglossum'', the species of which were generally included in a more broadly defined ''Lycopodium'' in older classifications, are treated in the separate family Huperziaceae in some classifications, and are treated so here; they differ in producing spores in small lateral structures in the leaf axils. There is as yet no consensus on the recognition of Huperziaceae as a separate family; a more broadly defined Lycopodiaceae, including these genera, is still recognized in some classifications. The species within this family generally have chromosome counts of ''n''=34. A notable exception are the species in genus ''Diphasiastrum'', which have counts of ''n''=23. ==Uses== *The running clubmosses (genus Diphasiastrum) have long been used as greenery for Christmas decoration. *The spores have long been used as a flash powder. See Lycopodium powder. *The spores have been used by violin makers for centuries as a pore filler. *In Cornwall, club mosses gathered during certain lunar phases were historically used as a remedy for eye disease. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Lycopodiaceae」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
