Modern tropical lycopsids growing on a disturbed site, a road cut in the foothills of the Merida Andes, Venezuela (photograph by author). Each plant is about 50 cm high. This lycopsid serves as the pioneer species on a disturbed site similar to the lycopsids (belonging to a different order) that became dominant after the Permian-Triassic boundary crisis (1).
