Seligeria pusilla
Also called Dwarf Rock Bristle
Seligeria pusilla, the dwarf rock‑bristle, is a minute species of moss in the family Seligeriaceae. It grows on shaded calcareous rock surfaces, typically forming thin, bristly mats on cliffs, ravines and boulders. The species can be found scattered across northern and temperate regions of Europe, Asia and North America.
Seligeria pusilla is widespread but uncommon, and is found predominantly across several areas of Canada and the US, including Ellesmere Island, Alaska, Arkansas, Minnesota, Tennessee, Indiana, Iowa, Kentucky, Michigan, Missouri, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Vermont and Wisconsin.
