Indian Feather-moss (Timmia megapolitana)


First found by Bob Ellis in 2000 and Wheatfen is still the only British Site for this moss.

from the

Red Data Book

Wheatfen Broad, part of the Ted Ellis Nature Reserve within the Yare Broads and Marshes SSSI, where Bob Ellis first found it in 2000 is still the only British site for this moss. It occurs on willow branches lying on bare mud in carr woodland where tidal flows mean that it can be under water for a number of days. The nearest population to that at Wheatfen, is in the Netherlands where it grows in similar conditions. Although found, so far, in only two adjacent 2 km grid squares, the Norfolk population is estimated at well over two million individual plants. Given concerns about Timmia megapolitana elsewhere in Europe, the population here appears to be of high conservation importance. by Mary Ghullam

Capsules when mature sit above the leaves. Thus these were not quite mature but you can see the sparse hairs and the dark tips.

The white hairs at the base of the seta were also present as well as the dark antheridia.

A Caloplaca sp, with the white thallus of Diplotomma alboatrum to the left
(note the powdery looking apothecia). It’s not clear if the scurfy area below
the Caloplaca is part of that species’ thallus, or possibly something else like a Verrucaria.

Most likely a Lecanora, but this would require microscopy and chemical tests.

The lichen with the thick black prothallus is mysterious – can’t immediately think of anything similar I have seen.
The others are more familiar – yellow is Candelariella vitellina, and white is Porpidia tuberculosa.
I will have to investigate the mystery one, whereabouts in the churchyard was it?
