screw moss

plant

also called twisted moss

any member of the moss genus Tortula (subclass Bryidae), which form yellow-green or reddish brown cushions on walls, soil, rocks, trees, and sand dunes in the Northern Hemisphere. About 25 of the 144 species are native to North America; the best-known species in both North America and Great Britain are T. muralis and T. ruralis.

Screw moss ranges in height from 0.5 to 10 centimetres (about ¹/₅ to 4 inches), depending on the species. The tongue-shaped phyllids (leaves) are usually tipped by a long hair. The teeth surrounding the “mouth” of the capsule (spore case) are often spirally twisted and are united at the base into a tubular membrane.
