https://youtu.be/xo2lJpTdDQZPlatyhypnidium riparioides, the long-beaked water feathermoss, is a species of aquatic moss commonly found in many regions. This species is among the largest aquatic mosses growing up to 15 cm long!
P. riparioides occurs in or near water and varies considerably depending on the conditions.
In clean water, it may form large patches of long, sparingly branched shoots (to 10 cm or more), the older parts of the stems often becoming denuded.
At other times, especially in small and polluted streams, it may occur only as small, scruffy shoots.
Important characters are the rather large leaves (1.5–2.5 mm long), broadly egg-shaped, narrowed at the base, broadly pointed at the tip, and standing out from the stem when moist and dry.
They have a long, single nerve and finely but distinctly toothed margins.
The shoot tip of P. riparioides tends to look broad and flattened, which is not the case in related species.
Capsules (2 mm long) are often present.
The lid has a beak about 2 mm long, and the seta is smooth.
P. riparioides grows submerged or semi-submerged for at least part of the year on stones, tree roots and wood by lowland streams and rivers, but also in upland streams where the substrate is not too acidic.
It grows best in and by running water, and when included in a water feature like a fountain, waterfall, inside or outside, it will grow very long as it hangs in the running water.
