Buxbaumiaceae

Buxbaumiaceae belongs to a family of small, moss-like plants primarily found in boggy or swampy environments. These plants are characterized by their distinctive, star-shaped, green or yellow-green sporophytes that emerge from amidst thin, wiry leaves. The unique morphology of buxbaumiaceae is adapted to thrive in nutrient-poor, acidic soils, where they often form dense, cushion-like colonies. Key to their survival in such habitats is their ability to trap and store water efficiently in their specialized tissues.
