Trichostomum Moss (Trichostomum brachydontium)
Description
The plants form tufted, yellow-green to dark green sods or cushions (sometimes extensive) on soil. The stem has a central strand of differentiated cells and grows 4-26mm tall. The leaves are tightly incurled (crisped) when dry, but widely spreading when wet, giving the plant a completely different appearance.
