The Calomniaceae in
Tasmania is represented by a single species, Calomnion
complanatum.
C. complanatum is an uncommon but possibly overlooked moss
shows a preference for tree fern trunks.
The leaves are arranged in three ranks with two rows of normal
sized lateral leaves and a row of smaller leaves on the underside of
the stem. The lateral leaves are elliptic to oblong-obovate and the
leaf nerve extends to just under the leaf apex.
C. complanatum is similar to
Hymenodon pilifer
but lacks the long hairpoint of that species.
