True Mosses

Compilation of multiple photos taken at different points in time; taken both in field and in lab.

Two rare mosses, Mielichhoferia elongata and Scopelophila ligulata, are in this image. The more intense-colored patches are Mielichhoferia (near the waterfall and elsewhere), the dull green non-descript patches are Scopelophila, see closer views of each species.
