Andreaeaceae

Andreaeaceae is a family of mosses featuring a distinctive black or dark brown color, adapting well to rocky environments. Its leaves generally lack a midrib, a feature that differentiates it from other moss families. This moss thrives in cold, alpine conditions, occupying acidic rock surfaces where few other plants can survive. The structure of andreaeaceae assists in enduring these harsh, low-nutrient habitats.
