Zygogdon Sp ?

Zygodon you can't do unless you look under the microscope and study the gemmae. If Z. viridissimus gemmae will have cross partitions (about 4/5) and the odd vertical one, although that's not all that easy to see. If leaf nerve extends beyond tip and thickens towards leaf tip, it will be Z. vir var stirtonii. Z. conoideus has no vertical partitions and normally more cross ones (6/7/8). Z. rupestris, which is much less common, is like Z vir but with no vertical partitions, but, as I say, they can be difficult to see and sometimes you don't get many gemmae to play with.

Heath Star-moss ( Campylopus introflexus)

C. introflexus can be tricky. It is very common on heathland, but is often at various stages and you can have to
search really hard for hairpoints at the base of the plant on older leaves. It tends to be upright, whereas D. het etc are more falcate.

A trip to Cockthorpe Common to discover mosses with the Bryology Group of the N&NNS

Truly extraordinary to hear the discussions over the id of particular mosses.

Cockthorpe Common is situated in the valley of the River Stiffkey, where steep slopes support a diverse chalk grassland flora and it is a designated SSSI.

It is one of the few unimproved chalk downland sites left in Norfolk and contains a rich flora, including a number of uncommon species.
