Tetraphidaceae

Tetraphidaceae is a family of small mosses with a distinctive four-ranked leaf arrangement, from which it derives its name. These mosses typically form green to yellow-green tufts, and their slender, elongated capsules help in spore dispersal. Thriving in moist, shaded habitats, tetraphidaceae's unique structure allows it to capture and retain water effectively, aiding its survival in varying moisture conditions.
