Codriophorus fascicularis (synonym Racomitrium fasciculare (Hedw.) Brid., German tuft-serrated cap or tuft-serrated moss ) is a deciduous moss - species from the family Grimmiaceae .
features
Codriophorus fascicularis forms loose to dense, yellowish to brown-green, inside brown to blackish, sometimes even completely brown-black turf. The up to 10 centimeters long, prostrate to ascending stems have numerous short side shoots. The dry to protruding, strongly protruding, lanceolate leaves are narrowed from a broad base into a long leaf tip, this is narrow, but mostly clearly rounded and has no glass tip. The leaves are single-layered, the leaf margins entire and rolled up. The simple leaf vein ends in front of the leaf tip, has two cells throughout and is 50 to 70 µm wide at the base. The lamina cells are elongated, rectangular, and also linear on the leaf base. The basal leaf margins have a leaf border of about 7 to 15 hyaline and smooth cells.
The reddish seta is 3 to 8 millimeters long, the capsule is elongated-ovoid to cylindrical and up to 2.5 millimeters long. The 550 to 600 µm long red-brown peristome teeth are split into 2 thread-like branches down to the bottom. The spore size is about 12 to 15 µm.
Distribution and location requirements
Codriophorus fascicularis is widespread in Europe (especially North, West and Central Europe), in Asia (Northeast Asia, Japan), in North America and on the Society Islands in the South Pacific. The moss grows on fresh to wet silicate rocks, in Central Europe preferably in high-montane to subalpine locations in the low mountain ranges and the Alps, more rarely on the plains.
