Atrichum crispum is a species of moss. [1] It is dioicous with males being the same size as females or larger. [2]
Common names
The following is a list of common names the species goes by:
- Crispy smoothcap moss [1]
- Strongly crisped smoothcaped moss [3]
- Wave-leaved crane’s-bill moss [4]
- Fountain smoothcap [5]
- Atrichum moss [6]: 210
- Oval starburst moss [7]
Distribution and habitat
The species has a disjunct distribution where it occurs in Europe and eastern parts of North America. [4] In Europe only male plants have been discovered. [8]
It occurs in eight regions of Estonia with it first being found in Estonia during 2004. [9]
North America
It is frequent in the Atlantic coastal plain but also occurs in the mountains. [8]
It is native to five counties in Florida. [10]
British Isles
It is thought that the species was introduced to the British Isles from North America. [5]
British bryologist John Nowell was the first to find the species in Britain in 1848 near Rochdale, [11] and it was first found in Ireland during 1957. [5]
