Vesicularia “christmas moss” CUP

Vesicularia montagnei, also known as ‘Christmas moss’ is widely spread in the Asian tropics, where it is found mainly emersed, e.g. on moist shaded riverbanks and on moist forest soil. Its popular name, Christmas moss, refers to its shoots that indeed look a little like the branches of a fir tree. They have a rather regular growth habit and have dense lateral shoots.
