Cinclidotus fontinaloides , German and Large grid tooth moss or well-grid tooth moss named, is a moss - kind from the family pottiaceae .
features
Cinclidotus fontinaloides forms loose, tufted, dark green to black green lawns. The plants are up to about 10 centimeters long and have numerous short side branches. The soft leaves are ovate-lanceolate, widest in or below the middle, up to 5 millimeters long and 1.5 millimeters wide, protruding upright when moist and often somewhat one-sided, dryly bent. The leaf vein takes up about a tenth of the leaf width in the middle of the leaf, extends to the leaf tip or emerges briefly. The edge of the leaves is strongly bulged and up to six cells thick. The round-square, smooth or papillosome leaf cells are 8–12 µm in size, and also short-rectangular on the leaf base.
The moss species is diocesan . Sporogons are often formed, they are located on short side shoots. The seta is about 1 millimeter long, the capsules are sunk into the leaves. The capsule lid is pointed and somewhat crooked. The simple peristome consists of long teeth that are divided into two or three thread-shaped legs, often connected at the bottom like a grid.
ecology
Cinclidotus fontinaloides is lime-loving and grows in rivers in light-rich to weakly shady, usually only briefly flooded and only moderately rapidly overflowed areas on rock, wood or tree roots.
