Achrophyllum in
Tasmania is represented by a single species, A.
dentatum (previously Pterygophyllum dentatum).
A. dentatum is a handsome moss of wet forest and rain
forest. Looking from the top, the shoots appear to be comprised of many
overlapping leaves.
A. dentatum can be mistaken with species of the related
Calytrochaeta but the latter is usually much smaller
and with much shorter nerves. The leaves
of A. dentatum is also more strongly toothed.
