Seaside Grimmia Moss, Yesnaby
07146
192
Orkney - Yesnaby
Seaside Grimmia Moss (Schistidium maritimum), Yesnaby. Orkney. A common moss of coastal rocks, it is unusual to see it growing on open gravelly ground but perhaps not surprising in that environment. It is normally a rather dull dark green or olive green, not the orange colour that it appeared at Yesnaby - partly an effect of the light. Information from Orkney botanist John Crossley.
