Mosses in Baglan Bay
The furnace slag in Baglan supports a surprisingly rich abundance of lower plants including one of my favourites, the rather beautiful and fuzzy-looking Dense Fringe-moss (Racomitrium ericoides), this being very closely related to the Hoary Fringe-moss (R. canescens) mentioned a few weeks ago.
The wonderful vernacular names of other species seen today included Silver-moss, Anomalous Bristle-moss, Sand-hill Screw-moss and Thickpoint Grimmia. For more pictures of some of the these species see http://moonmoths.blogspot.com/2011/04/baglan-bay-cont.html
