notes Syn.: Ditrichum gracile (Mitt.)Kuntze, Ditrichum crispatissimum (Mill. Hqal.) Par. - Habitat: very steep, rocky mountain slope, northwest aspect; about 10 m above mountain stream; on soil-covered boulders, calcareous, skeletal ground, partly on overgrown scree; open place, mostly in shade; exposed to direct rain, average precipitations ~ 3.000 mm/year, average temperature 6-8 deg C, elevation 545 m (1.790 feet), alpine phytogeographical region. - Substratum: sandy soil. - Comment (pertains to Flickr album Flexitrichum gracile): Flexitrichum gracile is a widespread and fairly common moss. Since it is quite tall and grows in the typically lax patches of thin, wispy stems, it is not difficult to recognize it. - It is an acrocarpous moss, which means that the stems are erect and in which the archegonia (female sex organs), and hence the capsules, are borne at the tips of stems. This type of mosses shows usually little or no branching and grow in erect tufts. However, in Flexitrichum gracile the capsules are very rare. - Ref.: (1) I. Atherton, S. Bosanquet, M.
