Fissidens hydropogon is a small aquatic or semi-aquatic moss from Ecuador, known from river margins and submerged river sites. It is critically endangered and rarely grown in cultivation, so care advice is limited to keeping it constantly wet.
Fissidens hydropogon is a species of moss in the family Fissidentaceae. It is a critically endangered species endemic to Ecuador.
Fissidens hydropogon was initially only known from one site, submerged in a river in Pastaza Province, Ecuador at 450 m (1,480 ft) above sea level. In 2008 it was discovered growing on the vegetation of Cuphea bombonasae on the periodically flooded shore of the River Nangaritza, 950 m (3,120 ft) above sea level in Zamora-Chinchipe Province, 500 km (310 mi) southwest of the type location.
