Plagiomnium medium, commonly known as Alpine thyme-mossmontane habitats in the Northern Hemisphere.
Research published in 1988 showed that is a
allopolyploid process, previously considered to be absent in bryophyte evolution.[5]
In the
UK it is classified as near threatened. More than 10% of all UK populations occur in the Cairngorms National Park in Scotland including sites in the Lairig Ghru and on the plateau of Lochnagar.[6]
