features
Blindia is cosmopolitan. The species grow on damp to wet (silicate) rocks. The plants are up to 10 centimeters tall. They have lanceolate, awl-shaped leaves that are brown at the base and have clearly differentiated, inflated, orange-brownish leaf wing cells. The oval to pear-shaped spore capsules have stomata and cone-shaped lids. Peristome teeth are smooth but can also be missing.
Systematics
The monotypical genus Stylostegium with the only species Stylostegium caespiticium , which used to be kept separately, is now generally assigned to Blindia .
According to Stech / Frey, the genus Blindia has 23 species worldwide, two of which are represented in Central Europe:
- Blindia acuta , pointed-leaved blind moss
- Blindia caespiticia , lawn blind moss
