Amphidium mougeotii (German Big band Moss ) is a moss - kind from the family Amphidiaceae .
features
Amphidium mougeotii often forms extensive, loose to denser, yellow-green, green or brown-green, inside light brown to rust-red cushions on lime-free, often vertical rocks. The individual plants are up to 5 (maximum 10) centimeters in size. The 2 to 3 millimeter long leaves are linear-lanceolate, flat-edged, usually entire, sharply pointed and have a simple rib that extends to the tip of the leaf. The lamina cells are rectangular and thick-walled at the base of the leaf, rounded-square at the top. It is characterized by the cuticle, which is dashed by low elongated papillae.
The species is diocesan and very rarely forms sporogons. The Seta is about twice as long as the 1 to 1.5 millimeter long, grooved and clearly raised capsule. The lid is beaked. The reproduction of the mostly sterile kind takes place by breaking off leaves.
Location claims and distribution
The moss colonizes permanently moist to wet silicate rocks in shady mountain areas. It is missing in the plane.
It occurs in Europe (northern to southern Europe), in the Caucasus, on Madeira and the Azores as well as in North America.
