Hypnales

Hypnales refers to an order of typically lush, green mosses often encountered carpeting forests and damp areas. The plants in this group are characterized by their feathery, delicate fronds that sprawl over surfaces, helping stabilize the soil and retain moisture. Their intricate leaf structures are adapted to capture and hold water directly from the air, enabling survival in environments where water is intermittently available.
