Reply With Quotesorry for the poor pictures, did my best with the camera.
Hi all, ive been doing experiments on mosses from asia and europe. Sadly most of them are terrestrial mosses and therefore do not survive well in submersed conditions.
However theres this very interesting moss that managed to change its form and adapt to submersed conditions, its slow growing though.
I have yet to bring it to Prof Benito Tan for Identification.
So meanwhile i thought i could share with you guys this beautiful moss.
Enjoy!
sorry for the poor pictures, did my best with the camera.

Bro, I think it is a Star Moss / Tortula ruralis if I'm not mistaken. Very nice!
bbpippen:
This is beautiful. What is the country of origin?
koah fong
Juggler's tanks
I too think that it is Starmoss. Nice
Thank you bro for your kind comment.
I have yet to check with the Prof on its scientific name as yet, so cannot name it.
It looks like Tortula ruralis however i dont think it is that as the frouds are more distinct and dont curve downwards like the flower petals.
Origin wise im not too sure, will check it up and update
Ive seen alot of different "star" mosses including those from europe and france. However we cannot just based on our naked eye to judge. They really look much more different under a microscope's magnification.
Only then can we deduce its real name and i have to see the Professor for his advice.
Anyway Ill identify it and update you guys
hi all, somehow i still think the original emmersed form of this moss is this in the link http://www.aquaticquotient.com/forum...555#post358555
Sadly i couldnt get them to adapt to immersed.
There are a lots of star looking mosses... I don't think this one is Tortula ruralis....
It could be Plagiomnium undulatum : http://www.funet.fi/pub/sci/bio/life...ndulatum-2.jpg
I have seen a very similar moss too this labeled as Barbula sp. on a Polish website.
kind regards,

it could be the commonly found cement moss.
Is this hardy?
I ordered some of the Barbula species moss i mentioned in my previous post and having taken delivery of it today I can say that it looks almost identical to this, unfortunately I can't upload any photos for a while but as soon as I can I will do so in order that you might compare the two and see what you think.
kind regards,
Louis Last
finally ive got it identified, its Hyophila Involutal
Seems that this terrestrial moss grows slowly in submersed conditions, but the rosette forms a very nice 'star' shape
here are some new pictures of the moss after 3 months.
enjoy!
