Cow-horn Bog-moss
''Sphagnum denticulatum'' is a species of moss belonging to the family Sphagnaceae. It is widely distributed in Europe but it is also found in other parts of the world. In a study of the effect of the herbicide Asulam on moss growth, ''Sphagnum denticulatum'' was shown to be the third most sensitive to the herbicide out of the 18 species tested. The study concluded that it was sensitivity (physiology), sensitive to Asulam exposure. References Plants described in 1826 Sphagnum, denticulatum {{moss-stub ...

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 ...
