Leptobryum pyriforme particularly likes to grow on garden soils.
It is a seedless non-vascular plant and reproduces by growing spores.
Although it's chiefly used to give a growth 'spurt' to oilseed rape, the
actual method of spore propogation is rather unusual....
It is *always* recommended to leave this kind of moss in-situ rather
than habitually destroying it which is most gardeners instinctive action.
