Dicranaceae

Dicranaceae is a family of acrocarpous mosses characterized by their curved, sickle-shaped leaves, which often have a deeply grooved or furrowed surface. These mosses typically grow in dense clumps in moist, shady environments. The unique leaf curvature helps dicranaceae capture and retain water, crucial for survival in their often transient wet habitats.
