Bucephalandra Moss

[vasteq]

Moss found together with Bucephalandra. It grown on Buce roots. Its shape is very interesting. Rate of growth is quite slow. It can become attached even to smooth surfaces.

Looks awesome! :shock: But why is it named "Bucephalandra"? Does it botanically really belong to the 'classic' bucephalandras? :?

Hello Daniel,

see Vasteq's posting; it was found clinging on the roots of an imported Bucephalandra, therefore the provisional name.
It's apparently not a moss in the narrower sense, but a foliose ( = leafy) liverwort. Maybe family Lejeuneaceae; ID would be a case for liverwort experts.
