Campylopus bicolor

Campylopus bicolor is a species of moss found in Australia, New Zealand, and South Africa. It is characterised by blackish colouration, leaves with distinctive hood-like tips, and a broad central strand occupying up to four-fifths of the leaf width. The species plays an important role in rock colonisation, forming moss "aprons" or mats that can store significant moisture and provide microhabitats for other plants. Two varieties are recognised: the typical form (var. bicolor) with hood-like leaf tips, and the rarer var. ericeticola with hair-like points. In Australia, it is found across several states from Western Australia to Tasmania, while in South Africa it occurs only in the Table Mountain area....read more on Wikipedia.
