Dicranoloma billarderi (Dicranaceae)

 
 
Dicranoloma billarderi is a common moss with a widespread distribution in Tasmania. It grows as loose turfs on rocks, logs and trees in wet forest and rainforest.

It is very similar to D. robustum in habit and appearance and is most reliably distinguished from this species microscopically. In the field, D. billarderi has a more untidy look and the leaves are generally smaller than D. robustum
