It is noteworthy in being the only Selaginella species which is a true shrub, being up to 6.5 feet (2.0 m) in height and about half as wide. The leaves do not exceed 0.2 inches (0.51 cm) in length by 1⁄18 inch (1.4 mm) in width. Strobili are up to 2 centimetres (0.79 in) long by up to 1⁄12 inch (2.1 mm) in width.[1]
