slender silver moss

Anomobryum julaceum is a moss species native to temperate regions of both hemispheres, excluding South America and Antarctica. It is commonly found in wet, acidic habitats such as sandstone and granitic cliffs, seeps, and late snow melt areas. The species resembles Pohlia and Bryum argenteum but can be distinguished by its strongly julaceous, shiny leaves. It is widespread in regions like Labrador, California, and various islands in the Atlantic and Pacific. In North America, it is restricted to acid habitats. The species was first published in 1860.
