3CE8AFBDB63557A89E74AFF9A0148A41.taxon	diagnosis	Diagnosis. Huperzia crassifolia resembled species H. javanica in its gross morphology, but can be easily distinguished by the thicker texture and round-lanceolate pinnae. The well differentiated seasonal constriction zones, as well as the dark-green colour of the pinnae, provide further distinctions to species with similar morphology.	en	Guo, Zhi-You, Liu, Hong-Mei, Wang, Kai-Kai, Fujiwara, Tao, Liu, Zheng-Yu, Zhang, Xian-Chun, Schneider, Harald (2024): Huperzia crassifolia (Lycopodiaceae), a new species from China based on morphological characters and molecular evidence.

Upper portion of the branches often with numerous gemmae. Leaves sparse, attached at right angles with stem, elliptic to slightly oblanceolate, conspicuously contracted towards base, 1.2 – 1.9 cm long, 0.4 – 0.6 cm wide, leathery, shiny, dark green above and light green below, glabrous, midrib conspicuous, base cuneate, decurrent, petiolate, margin straight, slightly reflexed when dry, irregularly serrated, apex acute to slightly cuspidate, teeth acute at apex, coarse; seasonal variation between sporophylls and trophophylls, sporophylls slightly dimorphic by reduced size compared to trophophylls; sporangia attached to the upper side of sporophylls, yellowish, reniform. Spores tetrahedral, with trilete aperture and foveolate ornamentation on distal pole.	en	Guo, Zhi-You, Liu, Hong-Mei, Wang, Kai-Kai, Fujiwara, Tao, Liu, Zheng-Yu, Zhang, Xian-Chun, Schneider, Harald (2024): Huperzia crassifolia (Lycopodiaceae), a new species from China based on morphological characters and molecular evidence.

3CE8AFBDB63557A89E74AFF9A0148A41.taxon	distribution	Distribution and habitat. Huperzia crassifolia is a terrestrial firmoss currently only known from Guizhou, Hubei, Hunan, and Chongqing, growing on humus rich soils in shady conditions formed in the undergrowth of broad leaf forests at elevations from 1100 to 1900 m a. s. l.	en	Guo, Zhi-You, Liu, Hong-Mei, Wang, Kai-Kai, Fujiwara, Tao, Liu, Zheng-Yu, Zhang, Xian-Chun, Schneider, Harald (2024): Huperzia crassifolia (Lycopodiaceae), a new species from China based on morphological characters and molecular evidence.
