Moss
Mosses are small, non-vascular plant, non-vascular flowerless plants in the taxonomic phylum, division Bryophyta (, ) ''sensu stricto''. Bryophyta (''sensu lato'', Wilhelm Philippe Schimper, Schimp. 1879) may also refer to the parent group bryophytes, which comprise Marchantiophyta, liverworts, mosses, and hornworts. Mosses typically form dense green clumps or mats, often in damp or shady locations. The individual plants are usually composed of simple leaf, leaves that are generally only one cell thick, attached to a plant stem, stem that may be branched or unbranched and has only a limited role in conducting water and nutrients. Although some species have conducting tissues, these are generally poorly developed and structurally different from similar tissue found in vascular plants. Mosses do not have seeds and after fertilisation develop sporophytes with unbranched stalks topped with single capsules containing sporangium, spores. They are typically tall, though some species ar ...

Orthotrichum Lyellii
''Orthotrichum lyellii'', also known as Lyell's bristle moss, is a species of acrocarpous moss belonging to the family Orthotrichaceae. ''O. lyellii'' can be found throughout western North America and Europe. It is found most commonly growing epiphytically on a variety of trees, and less commonly on rocks or boulder substrates. Description ''Orthotrichum lyellii'' is generally described as forming green and yellow mats, with loose tufts reaching lengths of 3 to 4 cm forming mound-like structures. Its leaves are sharply pointed with a single costa and lanceolate linear leaf morphology, being very slender and reaching lengths of 2.5 to 6.5 mm. Tufts can reach lengths ranging from 10 to 13 cm, and often are found lying prostrate to the ground. The lamina cells of its leaves are papillose, and the entire leaf surface can often be found dusted with brown asexual propagules ( gemmae) which may help to distinguish it from similar species such as '' Orthotrichum papillosum.'' Pale-brow ...
