Plagiomnium medium |
Plagiomnium medium, commonly known as Alpine thyme-moss [3] or intermediate plagiomnium moss, [4] is a moss found in montane habitats in the Northern Hemisphere.
Research published in 1988 showed that is a hybrid of P. ellipticum and P. insigne via an allopolyploid process, previously considered to be absent in bryophyte evolution. [5]
In the UK it is classified as near threatened. More than 10% of all UK populations occur in the Cairngorms National Park in Scotland including sites in the Lairig Ghru and on the plateau of Lochnagar. [6]
