Aspecto

The Cypress-leaved Plait-moss is a low-growing moss that forms dense, flattened mats. It has distinct, feather-like stems densely covered with small, overlapping, yellowish-green to dark green leaves. These leaves curve towards one side, giving it a characteristic braided or plaited appearance, distinct from other mat-forming mosses.
