Cladonia sp. |
Yesterday I took a walk over the site where Charles and Hilary Hipkin found
Wall Bedstraw (
Galium parisiense) last year
see here. It was still evident mid-winter, with patches of new growth even sporting a few flowers. However,
Cladonia lichens and a variety of mosses were the most prominent feature of this seemingly barren area of slag,
Megapolitan Feather-moss and
Kneiff's Hook-moss being species of note.

Kneiff's Hook-moss (Drepanocladus aduncus) |
The commonest species in this area
was
Lesser Bird's-claw Beard-moss, that formed extensive patches some of which were producing capsules on long yellow stalks.
