Many species of Selaginella (#Selaginellaceae) have two kinds of leaves (microphylls): Spreading, distichously arranged leaves and a second kind of leaf appressed to the stem. This is Selaginella picta. Classic #anisophylly! #TropicalBotany #Botany 🌾🧪🌱

I'm recruiting PhD students for the Barker Lab @uofa-eeb.bsky.social We study plant evolutionary genomics - polyploidy, hybridization & machine learning for genome evolution. Work with Selaginella, Xanthisma, Brassica & more. Funding available via CAMBIUM Fellowships. Reach out if interested! 🧬🌵🤖

We don't have direct evidence of iridescent plants from the Carboniferous, but we do have fossils of Selaginellaceae, and many modern species are iridescent.
I thinkI originally made this statement and incorrectly applied this to all Carbon. Lycopodiales, but it was probably still quite restricted.
