Fontinalis antypiretica is (?) common in US. If I can get a small piece
of that Christmas moss you have (even a one cm long dried piece will be
enough)..then I will be able to identify the species. I will take some
pics under the microscope and post them in my server for everyone's
further use.
Are there any other fully aquatic moss species?
Liebe Klaus danke sehr für Ihren Kommentar. Sprechen Sie mit Ihnen
später.
Bis bald
