Question
What is this plant's name? Short, occurs in groups, shady forest, needle like leaves. Looked all over internet but cant find picture to identify it. Location found in New Hampshire.
Answer
tsobell, you have photographed Huperzia lucidula (shining firmoss), a native component of New England forests and swamps. If you look in the axils of the leaves, you will see yellowish structures (sporangia) that produce the spores. Best wishes.
