Rosulabryum billardierei
Billarder's Bryum Moss is a medium-sized, bright green moss that forms loose tufts or dense turves on soil, rock, wood and sand in shaded, damp places. It is a moss rather than a flowering plant, so it is grown by transplanting or spreading existing patches into moist, shaded spots.
Rosulabryum billardierei is a medium-sized moss species that was previously classified as Bryum billardierei before being reassigned to the genus Rosulabryum. The specific epithet has been subject to spelling variation with billardierei, billarderi, and billarderii all considered acceptable forms in literature.
Rosulabryum billardierei is a circum-temperate to subtropical species distributed throughout the Southern Hemisphere, including Africa, Australasia, Malesia, Oceania, and New Zealand. However, its precise range depends on taxonomic interpretation, with some authors extending its distribution to parts of the Northern Hemisphere. In Australia, the species is widely distributed across all states and territories except the Northern Territory. It occurs in a range of habitats, including woodlands, wet sclerophyll forest, rainforest, coastal vegetation, and along stream margins, from near sea level to approximately 400 m elevation, particularly in shaded environments. The species grows on a variety of substrates, including soil, rock, wood, and sand.
