This member of the Selaginellaceae  family is found in the Middle East and the Central Americas. It grows in well-drained soil with a little water from time to time. Lots of sun. It will grow to 20 centimetres in diameter when it opens. It won't flower; it's a fern. I found mine in Pachuca, Mexico in 2003.
