Abstract
Pseudolycopodiella
is a small, pantropical genus of wetland lycopods that remains largely unstudied. The gross morphology of the plants is strikingly similar across its broad range and systematic work on the genus has been limited in scope, both geographically and taxonomically. Species within the group remain poorly defined, and authors are in disagreement on the number of taxa and their rank. The present work addresses this problem by examining herbarium material of
Pseudolycopodiella
from throughout its range in the Americas. Study of the morphology of these plants using both a traditional herbarium approach and multivariate statistics has identified ten species, one of which is new. These species, their morphology, and their ranges are presented and discussed.
