    Great, it is a new species introduction for the site and one of only two species of moss. When you know the species, and you seem to know them well, you can identify them from the "identify species" option next to the photo. That retrieves the information available on Wikipedia for the species and also groups all the photos of the same species. In this case, I have identified it for you. Posted 11 years ago

Binhunter, welcome to JungleDragon! As a first tip, it would be helpful to share a little more in your photo. Try to give it a meaningful title with a description of what is on the photo. For example, try to describe the species and/or location, that way other members will enjoy your photos much more. Posted 11 years ago

The short stature of these moss plants and the +/- spindle shape of the calyptra make me think this is not Polytrichum commune. Posted 6 years ago
