Schistostegaceae is a unique family of moss characterized by its adaptation to inhospitable environments. This moss typically thrives on bare rocks and can endure extreme conditions by forming tight, green mats that help conserve moisture and protect the plant. Its ability to inhabit such challenging terrains highlights its specialized morphological adaptations.
