	Thank you János Vörösbaranyi for identifying this species for us General Species Information: Found on Ellura (in the Murray Mallee, SA) and elsewhere ~1mm wide at the base. We originally thought these were the same as Onion Moss (Gigaspermum repens). But that species doesn't have the sporangia on stalks, which are clearly seen here. Looking at great lengths one can see the leaves are very slightly different. Similar Species: Onion Moss (Gigaspermum repens)
