Hypnodendron spininervium

Hypnodendron spininervium is a moss in the family Hypnodendraceae. Like all members of the Hypnodendraceae family, H. spininervium has an umbrella-shaped branching pattern. Some of the key identifying features of H. spininervium are its grooved capsules, a lack of tomentum on its stipe, a lack of a leaf border, and the lack of hairpoints on its leaves.^[2] Hypnodendron spininervium is widespread across Aotearoa, and also occurs in Australia.^[1] It occurs most frequently in forests at relatively low elevations.^[3]
