Mosses on Oxwich Point
SS50918564. Two cushion-forming species growing on a shaded, drippy, limestone ledge with minimal accumulation of soil/mineral material. Cushions 3-4cm thick and 6-10cm diameter. Only a few m above extreme HWM, but in a very sheltered n-facing cove, so spray influence probably limited.
Sp.A Leaves with red nerve, shortly excurrent colourless tip. Blade with hooded tip.
