    Very happy with this, mosses are underdocumented, if that's a word. Posted 6 years ago

      Not a moss by a Lycopod, one of the true vascular plants. Common names aren't always phylogenetically correct. Hope to get some more recent photos of this plant from my local area. I'd also encourage anyone who has seen something like this species to post it.

      I think underdocumented is a word. My spell checker says it is.       Posted 6 years ago

        I might have one or two similar in my list of plants I haven't been able to ID...
        I definitely have some mosses in there, and grasses and rushes, which I've recently become interested in, but still find pretty baffling.. I don't think I really trust many if any of my IDs of those yet..

          I think I figured out the Carex but as for the Juncus there's a lot of information needed to get to species besides the inflorescence. The other two are new to me but might be related to the mint family but I could be way off with that. Posted 6 years ago
