Spotting

@craigwilliams - Thanks again for the ID - it's definitely a Selaginella and the name rings a bell so perhaps one of my lecturers had mentioned it at the time. I do indeed like ferns so will look into that book - it'll be something to read over summer once I've finished my degree :)

Nice. I think this is a Selaginella sp or some kind of Lycopod rather than a Pteridophyte. Despite the fact that tradittionally they've been lumped together, they're not actually closely related. As you're studying botany, if you're at all interested in Pteridophytes, I highly recommend 'A Natural History of Ferns' by Robin C Moran. It's a great read, full of fascinating fern stories & quite the opposite of a dry text book.
