Key Characteristics of the Variety:

- Silver Moss (scientific name: Bryum argenteum) is a bryophyte of the genus Bryum in the family Bryaceae. It grows in dense tufts, 0.5-1.5 cm tall, and is gray-green with a silvery-white sheen. Its leaves are arranged in an imbricate pattern, oval-shaped with entire margins. The upper cells are transparent and lack chloroplasts, and the midrib extends to the middle of the leaf. The capsules are purple-red and oval, with slender, drooping setae.

- This species is commonly found in organic-rich soils or substrates such as rocks and tree stumps. Its characteristics such as thickened leaf epidermal cell walls and compact stem structure impart drought tolerance, allowing it to quickly revive upon contact with water. It reproduces through asexual gemmae and capsules. The plant contains flavonoids such as apigenin and has been traditionally used to treat dysentery, carbuncles, and bleeding from wounds.
