Anomodon viticulosus (German Genuine Trugzahnmoos ) is a deciduous moss species from the Thuidiaceae family . German-language names are Echter Wolfsfuß and Rankendes Trugzahnmoos .
features
Anomodon viticulosus forms strong, up to square meters in size, yellow or fresh green, not shiny lawns. The ascending secondary stems or branches arise from the creeping primary stems, these are not very branched. When dry, the loosely attached, moist protruding, one-sided branch leaves are 2 to 3 millimeters long, gradually narrowing into a blunt point for a broad base. The often wavy leaf margins are flat to partially turned over. The strong vein ends in front of the leaf tip.
The leaf cells in the upper part of the leaf are round to polyhedral, thin-walled, opaque, have several papillae per cell and are 8 to 13 µm in size in the middle of the leaf. In the middle of the leaf base they are transparent, thick-walled, rectangular to elongated and have no papillae.
Sporogons are often formed in this species. The seta is red and 8 to 16 millimeters long, the spore capsule upright to slightly inclined, cylindrical, straight to slightly curved, the lid short and crooked.
The plants are dioecious .
