Dicranoloma billardierei is a moss that forms green or gold-brown cushions, common in wet rainforest and forest floors. It needs consistently damp, shaded, well-drained conditions, which is why it is rarely grown outside its natural habitat.
Dicranoloma billardierei is a species of bryophyte in the genus Dicranoloma. This moss is extremely common in wet rainforest habitats. In the field, Dicranoloma billardierei, is often confused with Dicranoloma robustum and Dicranoloma fasciatum. However, the short and obtuse nature of the leaves make this moss normally very distinctive.
Dicranoloma billardierei lives in epiphytic and terrestrial environments. Generally growing on logs, stumps, exposed roots, soil or on rock. In terrestrial environments it is often found in well drained sites in a variety of forest and shrub types. It occurs in mixed broad leaf or southern beech forest on the forest floor and in New Zealand is often found within manuka scrub environments. This moss often forms a mosaic with Dicranoloma robustum and is found any from sea level up to approximately 1,250 m (4,100 ft).
