Thuidium tamariscinum
Also called Common Tamarisk Moss
Thuidium tamariscinum, common tamarisk moss, is a feathery woodland moss with a nearly worldwide range, usually found on the ground or on rocks and logs in shade. It is a wild moss rather than a cultivated plant, so it is rarely grown on purpose and needs damp, shaded conditions to thrive.
Thuidium tamariscinum is a species of moss belonging to the family Thuidiaceae. It has an almost cosmopolitan distribution.
In a study of the effect of the herbicide Asulam on moss growth, Thuidium tamariscinum was shown to have intermediate sensitivity to Asulam exposure.
