Three Club-mosses occur in the New Jersey Pine Barrens. The Caroline Club-moss is the only one that has a prostrate main stem. The Fox-tail and the Bog Club-mosses both have arching main stems. The Fox-tail Club-moss is the larger of these two with as Howard Boyd (A Field Guide to the Pine Barrens of New Jersey) says, with a cone larger in diameter than an ordinary wooden pencil. The Bog Club-moss is smaller in stature with a cone smaller in diameter than an ordinary wood pencil. All three Club-mosses will be found in wet locations.
