Ptychomniaceae

Ptychomniaceae is a family of mosses notable for their dense, carpet-like growths which thrive in moist, shady environments. The individual plants possess small, intricately textured leaves that help in retaining moisture, crucial for their survival in less hydrated habitats. This feature not only contributes to their lush appearance but also supports a diverse micro-ecosystem beneath forest canopies.
