I found this a seedless non-vascular plant moss at Lettuce Park in Florida. It is a green colored moss with tiny little stems in between the moss and is about couple centimeter high from the tree itself. The tempertaure was 52 degrees outside and windy.
"The gametes are produced on the gametophytes. The sperm are produced within tiny, typically stalked, club-shaped structures called antheridia and you can also see bryophyte sperm referred to as antherozoids. The stalk anchors the antheridium to the gametophyte. Each antheridium produces numerous sperm."
You can observe the gametophyte of the moss with the leaves stems . The moss was found near land and humidity was low.
