Pendulous (hanging down) capsules are considered distinctive feature of this moss, helping to differentiate L. acanthoneura and C. dendroides. But personally, I think, that antheridia cups, pretty sparse leaves and yellow-green stems are distinctive too, because C. dendroides does not feature cups, has dense leaves with no visible gaps (making its branches looking like cereal ears), its stems are reddish.

Immature shoot of Leucolepis acanthoneura with antheridia cup. This moss is definitely special. Mature shoots (on the left) look like Climacium sp. moss, while immature ones making me thinking of Plagomnium sp.
