Climaciaceae

Climaciaceae is a family of mostly epiphytic mosses, characterized by their unique ladder-like leaf arrangement, which allows them to effectively capture and retain moisture from humid air in forest environments. These mosses generally possess slender, branching stems, and they thrive on tree trunks and branches, adapting well to the shaded, moist conditions of their habitats.
