Bruchia bolanderi
Also called Bolander's Bruchia
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.
Endemic to western North America: Oregon, California, and Nevada. In California, found as far south as Tulare County, but not west of the Central Valley.
