Discussion
The smooth glossy plants of Zelometeorium patula, pendent in loose tangles, with their usually distinctly spreading-squarrose leaves, are easy to recognize. In the flora area, the species is known only from Collier and Miami-Dade counties. There has been only one collection (in 1993) made of this moss from Florida since 1940, and the species is perhaps in danger of extinction in the flora area due to destruction of habitat. In tropical areas, stems can be much longer, to 47 cm (M. G. Manuel 1977).
