Cryphaeaceae

Cryphaeaceae is a family of mosses notable for their minute, dark green leaves and wiry stems, often forming dense, mat-like coverings on tree bark and rocks. These plants thrive in moist, shaded environments, leveraging their habitat to prevent desiccation. Their compact growth form and ability to withstand fluctuations in moisture levels are key for survival in their typically humid, forested ecosystems.
