Derbyshire feather-moss

Thamnobryum angustifolium is a species of moss in the Neckeraceae family. It is endemic to the United Kingdom. Its natural habitat is rivers.

Derbyshire feather-moss has never been observed to produce fruiting bodies. When growing underwater it forms dark green clumps, but as the water recedes in the summer months the moss desiccates, and the stems can turn a reddish-brown. Limestone encrustations, which form on the underside of the plant, are particularly apparent at this time of year. More
