Polytrichum commune
This is a species of moss found in many regions with high humidity and rainfall.
Polytrichum commune is an endohydric moss, meaning water must be conducted from the base of the plant. While mosses are considered non-vascular plants, Polytrichum commune shows clear differentiation of water conducting tissue.
