"Alan Welsh" wrote in message ... Leptobryum pyriforme particularly likes to grow on garden soils. It is a seedless non-vascular plant and reproduces by growing spores. Although it's chiefly used to give a growth 'spurt' to oilseed rape, the actual method of spore propogation is rather unusual.... It is *always* recommended to leave this kind of moss in-situ rather than habitually destroying it which is most gardeners instinctive action. I don't grow oilseed rape, so what good does it confer on my garden? How would I recognise Leptobryum pyriforme? Is it a particularly uncommon moss? I ask because unless I looked badly, it is not listed in the book "Grasses, Ferns, Mosses & Lichens of Great Britain and Ireland" by Roger Phillips. Franz |
