Weissia sterilis is a species of moss in the family Pottiaceae.[2] It is found in lowland grasslands in Europe, mainly France and Great Britain. It is classified as a near-threatened species due to habitat degradation, decreasing population size, extensive ploughing and the cessation of grazing.[3]
