Selaginella uliginosa is a small plant in the spikemoss family Selaginellaceae which is endemic to Australia. An ancient and primitive plant, usually under 10 centimetres tall, it is often seen in sunny moist areas. The specific epithet uliginosa is from Latin, referring to the plant's preference for growing in swampy locations.
