#2237 - Breutelia sp.
One of at least 200 species in the genus, from the family Bartramiaceae. One possibility is B. pendula, found in Australia and New Zealand, and the subantarctic islands of Macquarie, Campbell, the Aucklands and the Antipodes, but without seeing the spore capsules and having a microscope I really can't go further than genus.
The genus is found worldwide, and named after botanist Johann Christian Breutel (1788–1875).
