Tags: Moss.

Takakia lepidozioides is a species of moss in the Takakiaceae family one of two species of Takakia. It is characterized by its tiny bifid leaves in which each segment is only a few cells wide conspicuous rhizomous shoots and long leafless stolon shoots which facilitate the colonization of bare areas. A very unusual feature is the lack of male plants within the species which are thought to have become extinct during an ice age.
