Wolly-hair Moss (Racomitrium lanuginosum)
Wolly-hair Moss is a moss that is particularly suited to
exposed upland blanket bogs. Its common name refers to its
high
degree of branching and dense covering of, greyish green, leaves
with a long hair tip. It typically grows in mountainous regions
where it forms patches on boulders often near to flowing water
but also grows in mats of up to 1m diameter on expanses of
peat.
It can be locally abundant where conditions are favourable.
