Pterygoneurum moss
Pterygoneurum moss is a genus of moss typically found in arid environments, adept at surviving in dry, nutrient-poor soils. Its leaves are small and scale-like, often tightly overlapping, forming dense mats that help conserve moisture. This structure is crucial in habitats with sporadic rainfall, allowing pterygoneurum moss to thrive where other plants may fail.
