The Krausblattmoose ( Ulota ) are a genus of moss from the family Orthotrichaceae , which occur worldwide with about 60 species, of which 8 species are known in Europe. This mostly refers to cushion-shaped bark mosses that rarely grow on rocks or on earth. They have dry, crinkled leaves, which ultimately gave the moss genus its German name. When wet, the leaves usually stick out. Otherwise these are lanceolate and often keeled. The leaf margin is often rolled up from the base to the middle. The leaf vein usually ends just before the leaf tip. The sporophyte generation of this genus of moss also forms upright, mostly 8-furrowed capsules that have a bell-shaped, often hairy calyptra.
