Plagiomnium Moss (Plagiomnium rostratum)
Description
This species has creeping, non-fertile stems up to about 5 cm long, and leaves 5-7 mm long which do not run down onto the stem. With a -20 hand lens it is possible to see that the cells are little longer than wide, and are not in clear diagonal rows. Capsules are frequently produced, and the lid is beaked. Capsules frequently form in spring, and are about 4 mm long.
