What kind of moss do you think this is?

Cause you guys still take plant IDs in here, right?

looks like peacock moss, not sure

**oldpunk78** · 02-03-2009, 04:01 AM

my guess would be Taiwan. peacock moss looks bushier to me.

LOL and I'm going to guess Christmas.

I too will say that it is christmas moss due to the fronds and wood-like stems. It might also be Singapore moss. The only sure way to know is microscopic analysis.

**Dollface** · 02-03-2009, 05:59 PM

do you mean somthing like this would help?

really I just wanted to see if I could get a picture through my old microscope and hey! I can!

**NeonShrimp** · 02-03-2009, 06:04 PM

Exactly, now you can compare them to the moss here:

Best wishes and let us know what it is

Oh thanks :S

Honestly I keep swinging back to it being Taiwan moss, cause I'm pretty sure it's Taxiphyllum.

**Dollface** · 02-04-2009, 11:51 PM

That looks pretty much exactly like it when it's not being dead.

I'm gonna call it as Taiwan moss, thanks guys
