"Bartramia pomiformis" is a species of moss in the Bartramiaceae family. It is typically green or glaucous in hue, although sometimes it can appear yellowish. The stems extend from a half cm to 8 cm, with narrowly lanceolate to linear-lanceolate leaves 4 – 9 mm long. The leaves have a nerve and are toothed. They are curled when dry but stick out when moist.
