Selaginella willdenowii is a species of vascular plant in the Selaginellaceae family.[1] It is a spikemoss known by the common names Willdenow's spikemoss[2][3] and peacock fern[4] due to its iridescent blue leaves.[5][6] Like other Selaginallales, it is fern ally and not a true fern.
Selaginella willdenowii is sometimes spelt incorrectly as Selaginella willdenovii.[7]
