Selaginella tamariscina is a species of plant in the Selaginellaceae family, endemic to China, India, Japan, Korea, Philippines, Russia (Siberia), Taiwan,[1] and northern Thailand.[1][2] It was first described in 1804 by Palisot de Beauvois as Stachygynandrum tamariscinum[3][4] (or possibly in 1805)[5][6] It was transferred to the genus, Selaginella, in 1843 by Antoine Frédéric Spring.[7]
It is an evergreen perennial growing to 45 cm in height. It is often used as an herbal medicine, and has been used to treat gout and hyperuricemia.[8]
