Phlegmariurus varius, is a fir moss or club moss in the family Lycopodiaceae found in areas of Australia, New Zealand and associated islands.

[1] Phlegmariurus varius can grow on the ground and as a lithophyte or epiphyte.

It can have one or many branches that are spirally arranged with slender leaves that narrow to a point.

The plant varies from green to green-yellow and is sometimes orange in appearance.
