Calyptrochaeta apiculata
(Hook.f. & Wilson) Vitt

Calyptrochaeta apiculata (Southern Hookeria) was much admired on the BBS Spring meeting in Cornwall, March 2022. It really does look like a baby Hookeria lucens, but look more closely and you will spot the pointed leaf apex. The image above was taken by Jonathan Sleath at Frenchman’s Creek, and gives some idea of the habitat on creek banks.
