''Bruchia bolanderi'' (known as Bolander's candlemoss or Bolander's pygmymoss) is a rare plant of the Western U.S.: Oregon, California, and Nevada.〔 〕 It grows on very damp bare soil. One may distinguish it from other mosses by the capsules, which are shaped like little upside-down pear fruits. == Technical description == The plants are tiny, erect, and acrocarpous, with stems and capsules together only 5.1–12 mm tall. The leaves are short, costate (but awn not filled by costa), linear, narrowly acuminate to subulate, serrulate, and green to light brown in color. The ''seta'' are straight, long-exserted, and 1.6–5.4 mm. long, usually longer than 3 mm. The ''hypophysis'' are as long as the urn. The capsules' are the most conspicuous part of the plants, and are long exserted above the perichaetial leaves, and tend to be 1.9–3.0 mm long, light brown, beige to greyish at maturity, widest at the rounded top, with a long tapering neck. The ''calyptra'' is smooth. There is no obvious area of dehiscence, and peristome teeth are lacking. The spores are papillose or warty.〔 〕〔 〕〔 〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Bruchia bolanderi」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
