White-tip Cushion Moss – Leucobryum javense

Leucobryum javense (Brid.) Mitt. (Leucobryaceae) forms soft, rounded cushions of pale, silvery-green shoots. The pale colour results from large, empty hyaline cells in the leaves that store water. Uncommon in Australian cultivation, it lends a mature, montane-forest character to terrariums and vivariums.
