I think that it is a clubmoss, but I couldn't say which species.

Common Clubmoss, Lycopodium clavatum

Thank you Stewart - that seems perfect!

Lycopodium clavatum  is my best guess, but I can be very wrong!!

Thank you, Malcolm!

It must be awful being so predictable!! ;-)

LOL!

I actually prefer its alternative name of stag's-horn clubmoss, as that 
describes the way the cones grow in pairs, occasionally three, which 
helps distinguish it from its relatives.

I've never looked at mosses before (I'm the animals person, Jenny's the 
botanist!) and I can't find my 50 year old "Observer's book of Mosses & 
Liverworts" Time for a new one, methinks!

Thanks again,

Mike

Hmm, you won't find clubmosses in that book, because just to be pedantic 
(who me?), clubmosses are not mosses! They are pteridophytes, grouped 
with horsetails and ferns, hence described in books on ferns, etc., or 
in major floras.

An interesting thought. The Paps of Jura ought to be visible, perhaps.

Dear Michael,
with best wishes to you. I am from Bangladesh. I think the creeping
plant seems to be a species of Lycopodium . But I can't say you the
exact species.

Thanking you
