Leucolepis acanthoneuron
Just love this moss in the springtime!
Kanaka Creek Regional Park is in the westcoast temperate rainforest. This park sits at the confluence of the Fraser River and Kanaka Creek. There are lots of black cottonwood trees along the river with alder, cedar, salmon berries, ferns, everything very moist and lots of types of moss here.
Thanks for the ID Miles!
Yeah pull one of the plants out and post a picture of its profile. Leucolepis has a small "treelike" appearance. Climacium is a bit different.
Thanks, Miles. Hmmmm so it is not possible to give it a definite ID from these photos then. If I go back to look at it again, what differences should I look for to get an ID?
Nice! this is either of the two genus' Leucolepis, or Climacium. Both have similar archegonia.
