Also, last weekend I saw Leptodictyum riparium in fruit and growing well in the indoor water display at Wyevale Garden Centre in Llansamlet.

Indoor mosses
I found Pseudotaxiphyllum elegans with ripe capsules in an
orchid pot in a friend’s house today. At least I assume this is what it is, as while
I don’t think there’s anything else that’s native it could be, there’s always the
possibility of it being an alien import? The plants appeared smaller than typical
elegans to me plus I couldn’t find any branchlets in the small sample I collected.

I've seen Leptodictyum in the same situation at Pugh's Garden Centre, Morganstown.
ReplyDeleteThe leaf shape looks wrong for Pseudotaxiphyllum. It's more like a Sematophyllum species, but I don't think it's S substrum. Very intriguing and surely not something native!!
ReplyDeleteDo you want it?
