Photos / SoundsWhatTortula plinthobiaObserveradevries75DescriptionThese caught my attention due to their frosted appearance, caused by the unusually long hair points on the leaves. |
yes |
Photos / SoundsObserveradevries75DescriptionThe leafy base of the plants were almost dead, but sporophytes were ripe. |
yes |
Photos / SoundsWhatGenus PohliaObserveradevries75DescriptionIn gravel parking lot underneath I10. I had trouble keying this one out in the absence of sporophytes, as Pohlia, Bryum, and possibly Ptychostomum seemed equally likely. |
no |

A solid mat grew in the mud between bridge pilings, covering several square meters. It was dry at the time, but the site is probably flooded by a shallow puddle every time it rains. |

Photos / SoundsWhatMaidenhair Pocket Moss (Fissidens adianthoides)Observeradevries75DescriptionSeveral mosses are visible in the the first picture. This ID focuses on the coarse patch in the middle. Fresh perichaeta were found while preparing the slides, but none had been fertilized. The pale leaf margins are evident around the leaf tips. |
no |
Photos / SoundsObserveradevries75DescriptionOnly found in in rare small clumps. The habitat is usual for a species that usually prefers tree bark, but as near as I can tell it really is P. drummondii. Two leaf sections are shown from the same leaf, one basal, and one distal (smaller with bi-fid lamina) |
yes |
Photos / SoundsObserveradevries75DescriptionPlants uncommon here, in small scattered dark green clumps |
no |
Photos / SoundsObserveradevries75DescriptionThese plants were flooded a week earlier, leaving them looking somewhat dusty and dull. Note also the leafy pseudoparaphyllia. |
