Thanks KL for the detailed account of our meeting with Dr Tan and explanation and photos of the various mosses. It was really fascinating to look at the various mosses under microscope, especially with Dr Tan pointing out the unique characteristics of each moss and why they belong to certain genus. What I learnt today is that it is unreliable to ID mosses without a powerful microscope !
We will be working closely with Dr Tan to identify the various aquatic mosses and clear once and for all the confusion over their common and scientific name. So if you see capsules on your Java moss or have mosses that look different from those in the above article, please contact us.
