Syntrichia papillosa (German papillae composite tooth moss ) is a moss -Art in the family pottiaceae . Often the species is called under the synonym Tortula papillosa Wilson.
description
The species makes loose, brown-green lawns up to 1 centimeter high. Dry plants appear bud-shaped and dark brown due to the inwardly curved leaves; when moist, the leaves are upright or slightly bent back and the upper ones are heaped like a rosette . The leaf shape is broadly spatulate, constricted below the center of the leaf, very hollow and short pointed. The leaf margins are flat or slightly curved above. The broad rib emerges as a short, almost smooth, hyaline glass hair. The back of the rib bears long one or two-pointed papillae, on the ventral side (upper side of the leaf) numerous egg-shaped, multicellular brood bodies are formed. The lamina cells are square to rectangular and hyaline at the bottom and rounded hexagonal at the top. The trunk cross-section shows only a small, indistinct central cord.
The gender distribution is diocesan . So far only female plants have been found in Europe. Spore capsules are only known from Australia, Tasmania and New Zealand.
Location requirements
Syntrichia papillosa mostly grows in the vicinity of settlements on free-standing deciduous trees, often on fruit trees in orchards, on street trees and trees. Only in exceptional cases does it settle on rock or on calcareous walls.
distribution
In Central Europe, the species is widespread from the lowlands to montane locations below 1000 meters above sea level, although it occurs only moderately in certain areas (for example in large areas of southern Germany, in parts of the Swiss Central Plateau), otherwise it is rare or completely absent for long stretches.
Worldwide there are deposits in addition to Europe in Asia, America, Africa and Australia to Antarctica.
