Catopsis Vitellina

Catopsis moss, scientifically known as Catopsis vitellina, is a unique and resilient member of the Bryophyta plant group. This small, creeping moss is commonly found in tropical and subtropical regions, thriving in shaded, moist environments. Its delicate, bright green foliage forms dense carpets on rocks, tree trunks, and soil surfaces. Despite its modest appearance, Catopsis vitellina plays a vital role in ecosystems by stabilizing soil and providing habitat for microorganisms. Its adaptability and aesthetic appeal make it a fascinating subject for both scientific study and botanical appreciation.
