Lycopodiaceae or the lycopodium plants are cosmopolitan by nature and are found growing in different parts of the world. They may be found growing in diverse climatic conditions and geographical locations - spreading from the arctic to the tropical climatic regions. There was a time when lycopodium was a very dominant plant, but presently it does not take over any of the members of the plant kingdom. Lycopodium plants growing in the arctic and temperate climatic regions have club mosses that are surface dwelling or terrestrial, while the plants of this species that are found in the tropical regions are generally epiphytes growing on other plants for support. Thus, they are mostly seen on some adjacent tree tops, otherwise they mostly remain out of view or are seen rarely.
