Charring Auh#Lycopodiopsida is a class of vascular plants also known as lycopsids,[1] lycopods, or #lycophytes. Members of the class are also called clubmosses, firmosses, spikemosses and quillworts. They have dichotomously branching
The #lycophytes, when broadly circumscribed, are a group of vascular plants that include the clubmosses. They are sometimes placed in a division Lycopodiophyta or Lycophyta or in a subdivision Lycopodiophytina. They are one of the oldest lineages of extant (living) vascular plants; the

A window into plant evolution: The unusual genetic journey of lycophytes
An international team of researchers has uncovered a remarkable genetic phenomenon in lycophytes, which are similar to ferns and among the oldest land plants. Their study, recently published in the journal PNAS, reveals that these plants have maintained a consistent genetic structure for over 350 million years, a significant deviation from the norm in plant genetics.

Clade-D auxin response factors regulate auxin signaling and development in the moss Physcomitrium patens
Auxin Response Factors (ARFs) are plant transcription factors that regulate gene expression in response to changes in auxin level; this study shows that D-clade ARFs, which lack a DNA binding domain and are found in lycophytes and bryophytes, are required for auxin-regulated transcription in the model moss Physcomitrium.
