Arctic Haircap Moss is abundant in Arctic North America, but has creeped its way down into the Canadian shield region of Alberta near Fort Chipewyan. It stands out from other Haircap Mosses with its bi-colored hair point (awn; half brown half white), and the stacks of cells on its leaves that are topped with an evenly thickened cell!
