The large pale translucent-green leaves of this beautiful moss resemble a Hookeria species, and it is in the family Hookeriaceae. Individual cells are visible at maximum resolution. This is a large form of this variable species. Image I10-2412.

My first stack produced using EL-Omegar 75mm lensBy the way, specimen is more than one year old dry shoot. collected in March 2014. It makes me thinking, that sealing moss shoots in polyester resin with prior vacuum dehydration and displacement of air in dry cells with inert gas (argon) can save it virtually forever.Sharpness here is a kind of bad, because by mistake I left the f/3.5 instead of setting it to f/5.6-f/8.0

Pendulous (hanging down) capsules are considered distinctive feature of this moss, helping to differentiate L. acanthoneura and C. dendroides. But personally, I think, that antheridia cups, pretty sparse leaves and yellow-green stems are distinctive too, because C. dendroides does not feature cups, has dense leaves with no visible gaps (making its branches looking like cereal ears), its stems are reddish.

Immature shoot of Leucolepis acanthoneura with antheridia cup. This moss is definitely special. Mature shoots (on the left) look like Climacium sp. moss, while immature ones making me thinking of Plagomnium sp.
