Aloe-mosses

Aloe-mosses is a family of moss distinguished by its upright, dense, green tufts. This plant typically exhibits a robust stature with leaves that are stiff and sharply pointed, often lined with photosynthetic lamellae to optimize light capture, crucial in shaded, moist habitats. The pronounced capsule atop a lengthy seta is characteristic, aiding in spore dispersal for reproduction.
