Leucobryum glaucum, commonly known as leucobryum moss or pin cushion moss, is a species of haplolepideous mosses with a wide distribution in eastern North America and Europe. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] [ 3 ] It inhabits temperate forests in the Northern Hemisphere, and its structure allows it to absorb metal ions.
Silene acaulis, known as moss campion [2] or cushion pink, is a small wildflower that is common all over the high arctic and tundra and in high mountains of Eurasia and North America (Alps, Carpathians, southern Siberia, Pyrenees, British Isles, Iceland, Faroe Islands, Greenland, Rocky Mountains).
Leucobryum albidum (common name pincushion moss) is a species of moss with a wide distribution in the northern and southern hemispheres. This plant first appeared in scientific literature as Dicranum albidum in 1805 published by the French naturalist Palisot de Beauvois .
Leucobryum species are found in erect, dense, and often rounded cushions. Their color varies from white to grayish or bluish-green. Species are characterized by having thick, whitish leaves with a large, expanded costa. [1] It has been suggested that the characteristic pale color exhibited by some species is caused by air bubbles in the leucocysts.
Cushion plants form large, low-growing mats that can grow up to 3 m (10 ft) in diameter. The typical form is a compact mass of closely spaced stems with minimal apical dominance that terminate in individual rosettes. Each stem grows at a consistent rate so that no one rosette is more exposed than the rest of the cushion.
