Caluff M. G. & Shelton G. 2014: Two new species and a new hybrid species of Selaginella (Selaginellaceae) from W Cuba [Novitiae florae cubensis 46]. — Willdenowia 44: 311–319. 2014. — Version of record first published online on 25 September 2014 ahead of inclusion in December 2014 issue; ISSN 1868-6397; © 2014 BGBM Berlin-Dahlem.DOI: http//dx.doi.org/10.3372/wi.44.44301Two new species and a new hybrid species of Selaginella (Lycophyta: Selaginellaceae), from Pinar del Río and Artemisa Provinces in W Cuba, are described and illustrated. The new species are S. cavernaria, an erect plant growing on calcareous rocks and cliffs in mogote vegetation, and S. striata, a prostrate plant occurring in the same ecosystems and sometimes growing together with S. cavernaria. The new hybrid species is S. ×dualis (S. serpens × S. striata), with intermediate morphology, growing together and sometimes mixed with the postulated parent species. All three new taxa are representatives of S. subg. Stachygynandrum.
