It initially grows as a ground cover, with individual stems reaching about 10 to 15 cm in height. These stems are initially upright, but then branch dichotomously and spread horizontally, like a fan. The leaves are exceptionally large for a \u003cem\u003eSelaginella\u003c\/em\u003e and grow densely overlapping, giving this moss fern a truly primeval appearance. \"A Bornean behemoth of a moss fern with a Carboniferous\/seaweed look,\" as one botanist on \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/jeffbenca\/status\/1559545667466342400\"\u003eTwitter\u003c\/a\u003e put it.
