Fissidens bryoides var. caespitans

Finding a patch of Fissidens bryoides var. caespitans on a vertical stream bank was probably the highlight of my outing to Caerphilly on Tuesday. The violet rhizoids are rather beautiful under the microscope.
This is the most easterly VC41 record by some margin, though the Atlas indicates that it has been recorded previously in ST18 - presumably in the VC35 part of the hectad.

    I've got 8 records from VC35: one from ST18, two from SO10 and two from SO20 in the west, and singles from ST49, SO40 and SO50 in the east.
