Talk:Usnea

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

hi, i changed 'so much so that the moss's Latin name' to 'so much so that the plant's Latin name' in the first section because the article on spanish moss says that the epiphyte is not a moss but an angiosperm. -- andye

Since I was not immediately clear which plant was being talked about changed it to 'Spanish Moss' I have a christmas card that tells of Usnia longissima. It lives across norhtern Eurasia from Siberia to Oslo on Alies siberica and Picea abies. It is much longer than 20cm and is thought to be the origin of tinsel on Christmas Trees. Unfortunately there are no details and nothing to verify.IceDragon64 16:31, 20 December 2006 (UTC)
