Huperzia nummularifolium has flattened stems.  It is a very nice lycopodium.  I grow two forms.  One was imported by Richard Button, and tends to be a more compact, bushier plant.  The other is propagated from a plant purchased from Heatons Ferns, in Australia.  The latter form usually makes fewer fronds, but they tend to become very long.

Huperzia nummularifolium has flattened leaflets, creating the appearance of a chain.

Some forms of Huperzia nummularifolium can grow  very long, over six feet.
