Climacium dendroides, also known as tree climacium moss,[1][2] belongs in the order Hypnales[3] and family Climaciaceae,[4] in class Bryopsida and subclass Bryidae. It is identified as a "tree moss" due to its distinctive morphological features, and has four species identified across the Northern Hemisphere. The species name "dendroides" describes the tree-like morphology of the plant, and its genus name came from the structure of the perforations of peristome teeth.[1] This plant was identified by Weber and Mohr in 1804.[5][1] They often have stems that are around 2-10 cm tall and growing in the form of patches,[2] looking like small palm-trees.[1] They have yellow-green branches at the tip of stems. The leaves are around 2.5-3 mm long, with rounder stem leaves and pointier branch leaves.[2] Their sporophytes are only abundant in late winter and early spring, and appears as a red-brown shoot with long stalk and cylindrical capsules.[2]
