Pogonatum is a genus of mosses — commonly called spike moss — which contains approximately 70 species that cover a cosmopolitan distribution. It can be seen mostly in Asian countries with a tropical climate.The Pogonatum mosses grow in tufts on the ground often with a green felt of thread-like cells (protonema) at the base. The plants are short and simple or long and robust; with branches starting below the leaves at the base of the pedicel or half-way up to the stem.
