Lycopodium clavatum is a spore-bearing vascular plant, growing mainly prostrate along the ground with stems up to 1 m (39 in) long; the stems are much branched, and densely clothed with small, spirally arranged microphyll leaves.
Lycopodium (from Ancient Greek lykos, wolf and podion, diminutive of pous, foot) [2] is a genus of clubmosses, also known as ground pines or creeping cedars, [3] in the family Lycopodiaceae. Two very different circumscriptions of the genus are in use.
The powder consists of the dry spores of clubmoss plants, or various fern relatives principally in the genera Lycopodium and Diphasiastrum.The preferred source species are Lycopodium clavatum (stag's horn clubmoss) and Diphasiastrum digitatum (common groundcedar), because these widespread and often locally abundant species are both prolific in their spore production and easy to collect.

The spores of lycopods are highly flammable and so have been used in fireworks. [30] Lycopodium powder, the dried spores of the common clubmoss, was used in Victorian theater to produce flame-effects. A blown cloud of spores burned rapidly and brightly, but with little heat.
The spores have long been used as a flash powder. See Lycopodium powder. The spores have been used by violin makers for centuries as a pore filler. In Cornwall, club mosses gathered during certain lunar phases were historically used as a remedy for eye disease.
"Upper Tanana Indians used the whole plant in a poultice applied to the head for headaches". [1] In Finnish traditional medicine this plant has been used as a remedy against rickets. [3] This toxic plant, containing lycopodium alkaloid has been used as an emetic and a remedy against maggots in Finnish traditional medicine. [7]
