The first thing wrong with your list is the spelling. If you get the right spelling you will be able to do your own internet search for more information.\nThese are correctly spelled:\nSelaginella sp.\nLygodium microphyllum\nBlechnum finlaysonianum\n\nThese are  now corrected:\nAsplenium nidus\nLycopodiella cernua [sometimes listed as Lycopodium cernuum]\nStenochleana plaustris\nBlechnum orientale\nLygodium salicifolium\n\nDicranopteris linearis [took me a while to figure that one out!]\n\nNow you can go look them up yourself.

Williams, South African Museum\nSagittarius Volume 3, number 2  1988\n\nIn the equatorial highlands of East Africa's towering volcanoes and rugged rift ranges is a zone of subalpine vegetation known to ecologists and plant geographers as the elfinwood. A naturalist entering the elfinwood for the first time is intrigued by this fairyland-like setting; the dwarfed and contorted growth of trees, dangling moisture-laden mosses and lichens, grotesquely gigantic herbs, lush green ground-cover mixed with brilliant blossoms, and general lack of sounds (except for those of the pervasive winds). These combine to produce an almost surrealistic impression. Elfinwoods are unique not only in their general appearance, but also in their remoteness. They are tucked away on the isolated slopes and ridges of certain high mountains in the world's tropical zone, are thus very restricted in range and are encountered nowhere else on earth. Indeed, elfin forests are rare areas of the world's rapidly shrinking natural environment.\n\nThe elfinwood forest is so named because of its low stature and often dwarfed or contorted appearance of its trees when compared to the lofty and majestic high-canopy rain forests of lower elevations. Similar vegetation belts occur in the northern Andean highlands of South America and on isolated Austronesian peaks of Borneo, Java and New Guinea. The elfinwood forms a characteristic but highly localized plant community in the subalpine zone of these widely distributed equatorial mountains.\n\nSince the unique elfinwood ecosystem is not found in North America or Europe, most temperate-zone travellers who first encounter this equatorial subalpine world, marvel at its exotic and strange aspects which are so foreign in appearance to the unaccustomed observer.\n\ndwarfs and giants in the elfinwood\nThe elfinwood is also known to biologists by a host of other names: equatorial elfin forest, ericoid scrub forest, alpinoid forest, moss forest, upland forest, subalpine pygmy forest, and afromontane cloud forest are among the elaborate names applied to this vegetation zone.\n\nActually, 'elfinwood' is a somewhat misleading term. Although many plants of the upper limits of this zone do indeed owe their dwarfed and tortuous aspects to the inhibiting effects of high altitude terrain such as rugged and steep topography, poor rocky soils, and high winds, several species in some areas of the elfinwood are not dwarfed trees at all, but rather have evolved as gigantic tree-like forms from small, herbaceous (non-woody, perennial plants) or shrubby ancestors. When compared to the straight and tall upper canopy trees of the lowland rain forest, however, these giant 'woody herbs' and shrubs sometimes appear as dwarfed trees. The availability of the arboreal niche (or tree form of growth) in protected, isolated, high-altitude locations and the consistently cool, wet, uniform climate have presumably allowed for this evolutionary trend in a number of elfinwood plants.\n\nThis form of gigantism is known as 'insular woodiness' and usually applies to evolution on oceanic islands but can equally apply to high mountains in equatorial regions. These highland areas can be thought of as temperate islands in a tropical sea. That is, the tropical lowlands act as effective barriers to isolate the temperate plants and animals of equatorial mountains just as the seas isolate the inhabitants of oceanic islands.\n\nThe elfinwood vegetational zones of such widely separated biogeographical regions as Africa, South America, and the East Indies are superficially quite similar in appearance and are known as 'convergent communities'.

You don't mention where it was found so that makes ID difficult; sounds like a Scolopendra. Look through these pics to see if you find a match. Some are poisonous; some are not.\n\nhttp://images.google.com/images?svnum=10&hl=en&lr=&as_qdr=all&q=+%22scolopendra%22+centipede&btnG=Search

A varitey called zoya grass.  It needs very little water, maintains its height with out much mowing and is very tollerant of heat.  Just google the name to find sources of the grass.

Well, you probably know grasses do not have a "calyx" or "corola;" they do have bracts and glumes.  Do you need more specific info.? I will check back.
