FACT: It has a white pleated conical collar instead of the typical arthrodontous teeth usually seen in Bryopsid mosses. When raindrops come into contact with the capsules of the hygroscopic pleated collar, a rapid ejection of spores into the environment occurs! Above is a SEM image of its hairy calyptra.
