Distichophyllum carinatum is a species of moss in the family Daltoniaceae.[1][2][3] It is native to Europe and Asia, where it has a disjunct distribution. It is known to occur in Germany , China , and Japan . It is also known from Austria and Switzerland , but it may be extinct there today.[1] It is very uncommon where it still occurs, growing in only four locations.[1] It is listed as an endangered species by the International Union for Conservation of Nature.[1]
This moss is yellow-green in color and it grows in dense tufts. The crowded leaves are keeled.[4]
This species occurs in wet limestone forests.[4] It grows on rocks and tree trunks in acidic substrates.[1][5]
The small, scattered populations are considered to be endangered because the species is likely very sensitive to environmental changes such as drying and air pollution.[1]
