Selaginella eclipes , a member of the S . apoda complex, may prove to be better treated as a subspecies of S . apoda (W. R. Buck 1977). It is recognized here at the specific level to highlight the problems within this species complex. Further research is needed to elucidate the relationships among the species of the complex.
