Vesicularia cf. vesicularis Vesicularia moss

There are around 140 species of Vesicularia described globally, none of which are known to grow outdoors in the UK. An unidentified Vesicularia species was recorded in 2014 by BS as a synanthrope in Swansea, enjoying the shady, hot house climate at Plantasia. Here the species was noted as growing and fruiting abundantly on the small balcony below the waterfall, its spreading form helping to soften the hard concrete infrastructure of the tropical house. There is limited information readily available in European literature or online about this diverse genus, but species such as V. vesicularis are mentioned as occurring in greenhouses elsewhere.
