Pottiaceae

Pottiaceae comprises a diverse family of small mosses thriving mainly in arid and semi-arid environments. Adapted to withstand dry conditions, these mosses have compact, cushion-like structures which help retain moisture efficiently. Their leaves often display a distinctive papillose or rough texture, aiding in water storage and reducing evaporation, a crucial adaptation in their typically harsh habitats.
