.. found at 18.2.2016 near Alte, Algarve, on a small rock in an area with limestone. I cannot identify the mosses by now but still have them with the specimen.
The spores are quite large and have a quite complete, not too high and not too wide reticulum. I am not able to identify the species with www.octospora.de, for instance.
About an hour ago I could identify L. maireana and I have three other ones left ...
Who can help me with this specimen?
Best regards from Lothar

Hi Gilbert & forum,
there is news: the host moss ist most likely Ceratodon purpureus. I put my microscopic examination of the moss to www.nafoku.de/forum (41. in february 2017) and got the answer there.
