Haircap moss #macro
Polytrichum is a genus of mosses - commonly called haircap moss or hair moss - which contains approximately 70 species that have a cosmopolitan distribution. The genus Polytrichum has a number of closely related sporophytic characters. The scientific name is derived from the Ancient Greek words polys, meaning "many", and thrix, meaning "hair".
