Hi Janet
Can you tell us who ID'd this for you?

Yes, I did. I found this plant in the corner of a photo of a fungus I took on Gossan Hill. I had not seen anything like this on in all the photos I had trawled through looking at mosses and the like. I eventually found an image and an article. The particular species which was the subject of the article was recorded as a herbarium specimen only so I used the genus only.

Thanks A fair suggestion. I've added it to the taxonomy.
