Plagiomnium venustum
Also called Magnificent Leafy Moss
Plagiomnium venustum, also known as magnificent leafy moss, is a species of moss belonging to the family Mniaceae. It is found mainly in western North America along the coastal region. This moss can be identified from other members of the Plagiomnium genus by dark coloured stomata guard cells and the absence of sterile stems. It is most commonly found growing as a mat on a variety of substrate, but mainly on humus and moist soil.
Majority of the Plagiomnium venustum species have been recorded in British Columbia, Canada and Oregon, United States, making it a Pacific Coast Bryophyte. However, some have also been found in Washington, Idaho, and Montana, United States. They are most common on low to moderate elevations.
