8 most common species：
Palhinhaea
Austrolycopodium
Austrolycopodium species are mostly native to the temperate southern hemisphere.
Phylloglossum
Pseudodiphasium
It includes only one species. Pseudodiphasium is native from Peninsular Malaysia to Queensland, Australia, and has been introduced into Ecuador.
Diphasium
Diphasium species are mostly native to the temperate southern hemisphere, but extend northwards into Central America and the Caribbean.
Lycopodiastrum
Firmosses
The cosmopolitan firmosses genus is noted for the trailing stems of some species that are thought by some to resemble tassels, which is how they got their common name. Firmosses are interesting houseplants, although they are often found among mossy or damp rocks in their native habitats. Firmosses have produced numerous hybrids, with wind believed to be the primary method of spore dispersal.
Alpine clubmosses
Alpine clubmosses are mosses with a nearly cosmopolitan distribution, though most are spread throughout the subarctic and the northern hemisphere. These small mosses mostly have a trailing growth habit, with the main stem creeping on the ground, while the side shoots are erect. Though the genus is relatively small, it contains numerous natural hybrids that are yet to be studied.

Pseudolycopodium
Pseudolycopodium
Pseudolycopodium is a genus of lycophyte in the family Lycopodiaceae with only one species. It is a spore-bearing vascular plant and grows up to 1 m high. Pseudolycopodium is native to Australia, the North Island of New Zealand and New Caledonia.
Dendrolycopodium
Dendrolycopodium
Dendrolycopodium are a small genus native to temperate to subarctic regions in the western hemisphere. Their mosses grow unusually tall stalks that can resemble miniature trees. Part of these stems actually grow underground and horizontally, sending up shoots that form the visible part of the plants.
Pseudolycopodiella

Phlegmariurus

Lateristachys
Lateristachys
Spinulum
Spinulum
Spinulum are club mosses that grow widely throughout temperature areas in the northern hemisphere, and some can also be found within the mountainous, high-altitude climates of the southern hemisphere. They are often recognizable because their major stem region grows parallel with the ground, while the secondary stems stand erect. In nature, some grow side-by-side to one another, but for an unknown reason do not hybridize.
Creeping cedar
Creeping cedar
Creeping cedar are flowerless, vascular, terrestrial or epiphytic plants, with widely branched, erect, prostrate or creeping stems, with small, simple, needle-like or scale-like leaves that cover the stem and branches thickly. The leaves contain a single, unbranched vascular strand and are microphylls by definition. About 76 accepted species occur, with 37 species widely distributed in temperate and tropical climates, though they are confined to mountains in the tropics.
Lycopodiella
Lycopodiella
There are approximately 40 species and their distribution is cosmopolitan, with centers of diversity in the tropical New World and New Guinea. Lycopodiella are non-flowering plants. They have leafy rhizomes that grow along the ground and vertical, leafy shoots, also known as peduncles. Fertile peduncles have strobili at the top of the shoot. Individuals can have short, creeping rhizomes with simple strobili, branching rhizomes with many strobili, or anywhere in between.

Dracaena
Dracaena are popular house plants that are easy to grow. They can tolerate low-light conditions and require little watering. Their leaves range from variegated to dark green. Their characteristic traits include woody stems that grow slowly but offer a striking appearance for small spaces such as apartments or offices.
Fig trees
Fig trees have been cultivated in many regions for their fruits, particularly the common fig, F. carica. Most of the species have edible fruits, although the common fig is the only one of commercial value. Fig trees are also important food sources for wildlife in the tropics, including monkeys, bats, and insects.
Brambles
Brambles are members of the rose family, and there are hundreds of different types to be found throughout the European countryside. They have been culturally significant for centuries; Christian folklore stories hold that when the devil was thrown from heaven, he landed on a bramble bush. Their vigorous growth habit can tangle into native plants and take over.
Maples
The popular tree family known as maples change the color of their leaves in the fall. Many cultural traditions encourage people to watch the colors change, such as momijigari in Japan. Maples popular options for bonsai art. Alternately, their sap is used to create maple syrup.
Prunus
Prunus is a genus of flowering fruit trees that includes almonds, cherries, plums, peaches, nectarines, and apricots. These are often known as "stone fruits" because their pits are large seeds or "stones." When prunus trees are damaged, they exhibit "gummosis," a condition in which the tree's gum (similar to sap) is secreted to the bark to help heal external wounds.
Nightshades
Nightshades is a large and diverse genus of plants, with more than 1500 different types worldwide. This genus incorporates both important staple food crops like tomato, potato, and eggplant, but also dangerous poisonous plants from the nightshade family. The name was coined by Pliny the Elder almost two thousand years ago.
Roses
Most species of roses are shrubs or climbing plants that have showy flowers and sharp thorns. They are commonly cultivated for cut flowers or as ornamental plants in gardens due to their attractive appearance, pleasant fragrance, and cultural significance in many countries. The rose hips (fruits) can also be used in jams and teas.
Oaks
Oaks are among the world's longest-lived trees, sometimes growing for over 1,000 years! The oldest known oak tree is in the southern United States and is over 1,500 years old. Oaks produce an exceedingly popular type of wood which is used to make different products, from furniture and flooring to wine barrels and even cosmetic creams.
