jbindernagelDescription
The return of the mysterious oceanspray frullania. Doesn't key all that well, would key to hattoriana but for the tiny stylus, but doesn't fit any of the others well either. Shoots about 0.5 mm across, stylus 1 cell wide, 2-4 cells long, 3-5 oil bodies per cell, inflated lobules cap-shaped, about as long as wide.
