Ambuchanania Leucobryoides
''Ambuchanania leucobryoides'' is the only species in the monotypic genus ''Ambuchanania''. It is a '' Sphagnum''-like moss endemic to Tasmania. Originally described as a species of ''Sphagnum'', it is now a separate genus named after the original collector Alex M. Buchanan, (b.1944) an Australian botanist from the Tasmanian Herbarium in Hobart, (it was first collected in 1987). ''A. leucobryoides'' differs from the family Sphagnaceae in having elongate antheridia. It is entirely restricted to south-west Tasmania's Wilderness World Heritage Area where it occurs on white Precambrian quartzitic sand deposited by alluvial flows, and on margins of buttongrass (''Gymnoschoenus sphaerocephalus'') sedge land. Species most commonly found in association with ''A. leucobryoides'' include: ''Leptocarpus tenax'', ''Chordifex hookeri'', and ''Actinotus suffocatus''. Currently, ''A. leucobryoides'' is listed as rare under the Tasmanian Threatened Species Protection Act 1995. Description M ...

Moss
Mosses are small, non-vascular flowerless plants in the taxonomic division Bryophyta (, ) '' sensu stricto''. Bryophyta (''sensu lato'', Schimp. 1879) may also refer to the parent group bryophytes, which comprise liverworts, mosses, and hornworts. Mosses typically form dense green clumps or mats, often in damp or shady locations. The individual plants are usually composed of simple leaves that are generally only one cell thick, attached to a stem that may be branched or unbranched and has only a limited role in conducting water and nutrients. Although some species have conducting tissues, these are generally poorly developed and structurally different from similar tissue found in vascular plants. Mosses do not have seeds and after fertilisation develop sporophytes with unbranched stalks topped with single capsules containing spores. They are typically tall, though some species are much larger. ''Dawsonia'', the tallest moss in the world, can grow to in height. There are a ...
