merchantDescription
We found this growing on the ground among leaf litter. There is a disagreement whether it is a moss or a vascular plant.
It kind of looks like a plagiothecium, but bigger. There does seem to be a root, though its short, so could be a rhizoid. It's stem is thick, with a clear costa/midrib visible to the naked eye. Leaves are thicker and longer than most mosses.
I vote on the side of vascular plant, but my colleague disagrees.
What do you think?
