Caluff M. G. & Shelton G.: Review of hairy species of Selaginella (Selaginellaceae) of the West Indies, with description of two new species from Cuba [Novitiae florae cubensis 30]. — Willdenowia 39: 107–119. — Online ISSN 1868-6397; © 2009 BGBM Berlin-Dahlem. doi:10.3372/wi.39.39113 (available via http//dx.doi.org/)Five species of Selaginella growing in the West Indies present hairs on their leaves. They are here revised, with full descriptions, illustrations, specimen citations and an identification key. Two of them, both endemic to Cuba, are described as new to science: S. epipubens, an acidophilous species from W Cuba (Pinar del Río province and Isla de la Juventud), and S. urquiolae, a calcicolous species from W Cuba (Pinar del Río province).
