Leucolepis acanthoneura with capsules

Description:
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.
