Campylopus introflexus (Hedw.) Brid.Family: DicranaceaeEN: Heath Star-moss, DE: Einwrtsgebogenes Krummstielmoos, KaktusmoosSlo.: no name (yet)Dat.: March 19. 2022 Lat.: 46.36000 Long.: 13.69950Code: Bot_1444/2022_DSC6371Habitat: dry grassland, small former pasture now partly overgrown with bushes (Corylus avellana dominant) and scattered small trees (Fraxinus ornus, Ostrya carpinifolia, Picea abies); calcareous ground; slightly inclined mountain slope, southeast aspect; warm, half sunny, dry place; exposed to direct rain, average precipitations ~ 3.000 mm/year, average temperature 7-9 deg C, elevations 635 m (2.080 feet), alpine phytogeographical region.Substratum: shallow, sandy soil.Place: Lower Trenta valley, right bank of river Soa; between villages Soa and Trenta; near Soa 48 abandoned cottage, East Julian Alps, Posoje, Slovenia EC. Comments (pertain to pictures in the Flicker album Campylopus introflexus): This species is a rapidly spreading invasive plant native to south hemisphere. It was probably introduced to Europe in the thirties of the 20th century and first observed in England in 1941. In 1956 it was first found in continental Europe and 1967 in Germany. Today it is known from many European countries and almost literally in every MTB square in England (that means in every 10 x 10 km region). In Slovenia only two finds have been known so far. Both are in the eastern part of the country. This observation is the third one and the first in the alpine phytogeographical region of Slovenia.When dry, Campylopus introflexus can be easily recognized by shiny, colorless and toothed leaf hair points, which are set at almost right angle to the rest of the leaves and stems. From top the plants look like small cactuses (see Fig. 2 and German common name). When most the leaves are strait. The starry appearance disappears and the determination in the field becomes more difficult. Also young plants often lack these characteristic hair points.The moss is known as a species of typically moist places usually avoiding basic, calcareous ground. The plants in the Trenta valley grow on all but such places. May be that this wide environmental latitude of the species contributes to its recent fast spreading in Europe.Ref.:(1) Ian Atherton, Ed., Mosses and Liverworts of Britain and Ireland - a field guide, British Bryological Society (2010), p 400.

Ceratodon purpureus (Hedw.) Brid.Family: DitrichaceaeEN: Redshank, Fire Moss, Purple Horn Toothed Moss, DE: Purpurstieliges HornzahnmossSlo.: krlatni rogatecIn fairly dry state and fertile.Dat.: June 8. Lat.: 46.360133 Long.: 13.69954Code: Bot_1380/2021_DSC3520 Habitat: Abandoned alpine pasture; slightly inclined mountain slope, southeast aspect; calcareous, colluvial, skeletal ground with very thin soil layer; open, dry, sunny place; average precipitations ~ 3.000 mm/year, average temperature 6-8 deg C, elevation 640 m (2.100 feet), alpine phytogeographical region. Substratum: gravelly and sandy soil.Place: Lower Trenta valley, right bank of river Soa, Na Melu place, near the abandoned farmhouse Strgulc, Trenta 47, East Julian Alps, Posoje, Slovenia EC. Comment (pertains to the pictures of the Flicker album Ceratodon purpureus): Ceratodon purpureus is a very common moss and a true cosmopolitan species. It is found worldwide. It loves dry, low competition and high light places, but inhabits also many different, natural and man-made substrates, some of them quite exotic like old skulls of animals and old boots. Ceratodon purpureus is able to tolerate much higher pollution levels than most other mosses. It is very variable, particularly in color. However, red color is most often dominant (see pictures 4. and 7.) except when it is very moist and without red setae. Then it is vividly green (see pictures 8. and 10.). It is about 3 cm high and usually abundantly fertile. One can recognize it by narrowly triangular leaves, which have strongly recurved margins almost from the base to the tip and a strong nerve extending just to the tip of the leaf. The leaf cells are nearly square. The setae are red and the capsules are strongly furrowed when dry (see picture 5b.).

Lat.: 46.360133 Long.: 13.69954Code: Bot_1380/2021_DSC3520 Habitat: Abandoned alpine pasture; slightly inclined mountain slope, southeast aspect; calcareous, colluvial, skeletal ground with very thin soil layer; open, dry, sunny place; average precipitations ~ 3.000 mm/year, average temperature 6-8 deg C, elevation 640 m (2.100 feet), alpine phytogeographical region. Substratum: gravelly and sandy soil.Place: Lower Trenta valley, right bank of river Soa, Na Melu place, near the abandoned farmhouse Strgulc, Trenta 47, East Julian Alps, Posoje, Slovenia EC. Comment (pertains to the pictures of the Flicker album Ceratodon purpureus): Ceratodon purpureus is a very common moss and a true cosmopolitan species. It is found worldwide. It loves dry, low competition and high light places, but inhabits also many different, natural and man-made substrates, some of them quite exotic like old skulls of animals and old boots. Ceratodon purpureus is able to tolerate much higher pollution levels than most other mosses. It is very variable, particularly in color. However, red color is most often dominant (see pictures 4. and 7.) except when it is very moist and without red setae. Then it is vividly green (see pictures 8. and 10.). It is about 3 cm high and usually abundantly fertile. One can recognize it by narrowly triangular leaves, which have strongly recurved margins almost from the base to the tip and a strong nerve extending just to the tip of the leaf. The leaf cells are nearly square. The setae are red and the capsules are strongly furrowed when dry (see picture 5b.).
