  • BFNA page for Bartramia ithyphylla Bartramia ithyphylla is essentially an Arctic-alpine species with disjunct populations in the high mountains of Africa and in austral South America. In the flora area it frequents tundra and montane forest habitats with occasional occurrence at moderate to low elevations at northern latitudes. The glistening white leaf base is distinctive. The obscure costa in the distal limb and the elongate distal laminal cells bearing low prorulae distinguish B. ithyphylla from other small species of the genus in the flora area.
