The classification of Lycopodiales is a contentious topic, especially considering that older classifications included all the species here split into two families (Lycopodiaceae and Huperziaceae) in a single large genus, Lycopodium--in fact many field guides and other relatively recent references still treat Lycopodium in the broad sense. The trend seems to be more towards splitting Lycopodium into several genera lately, but this and related articles need to be much more explicit as to whose classification scheme they are following.
