Picture to left: One of the more common lycopods in South Carolina is running cedar (Diphasiastrum digitatum).  Lycopods are clearly different from flowering plants in that they lack flowers, fruits, and seeds.  Reproduction is through the production of spores; which are formed associated with leaves.  In the case of running cedar the sprore containing leaves are modified and clustered together to form a strobilus.
