Papillaria crocea
This specimen was found growing on a fallen tree in a sunny clearing. It has finer, smaller leaves than Papillaria flavo-limbata.
Weymouthia mollis
This one is quite easy to recognise - it hangs down from branches in long fine strands. It tends to occur in damper areas of the bush.
Its leaves are finer than that of W. cochlearifolia.
Weymouthia cochlearifolia
This one is found on the trunks of trees, quite often forming large clumps.
"Cochlearifolia" means spoon-shaped, which decribes the leaf shape, when viewed under magnification.
Papillaria flavo-limbata
This species was also found growing on a rotten branch in an sunny position.
It was more of a yellow colour, and has larger coarse-looking foliage compared to P. crocea. (A bigger, better image coming soon!)
Meteoriaceae
The mosses in this family tend to be epiphytes ie. they grow on other plants.
