Zygodon Gracilis
''Zygodon gracilis'', the slender yokemoss, is a moss species in the genus ''Zygodon''. It is a rare lithophyte found to only grow on certain localities of limestone outcrops that has high calcium carbonate content. The current global conservation status of Z. ''gracilis'' is considered to be "imperiled". Morphology ''Zygodon gracilis'' is a dioicous, acrocarpus moss that grows in turfs of around 5 cm tall. The squarrose, lanceolate leaves bends away from the stem when moist and becomes contorted when dry. The leaves have distinctive toothed margins near the apex that sets it apart from other ''Zygodon'' species. Newer leaves appear dull green that become reddish-brown lower down in the shoot. Sporophytes are very rare and have only been documented twice, both in England in 1866 and most recently in 2002. The species do not exhibit any specialized asexual reproductive structures in the wild. Distribution Europe The species is found in temperate regions of Europe, with ...

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 ...
