Rhizomnium glabrescens a beautiful leafy moss common in coastal rainforests of North America from California to the Kenai Peninsula. These male plants have produced a whorl of dark antheridia in the center of the stem tip giving a floral appearance. Photographed by Andy Anderson-Smith on May 19, 2004.

ANPS Monthly Meetings
The public is invited to monthly meetings that are held the first Monday of the month, starting in October and running through May. The meetings are at the Campbell Creek Science Center and start at 7:30 pm.
Specially invited speakers present a topic of their choice at each meeting. ANPS members also do shorter presentations on topics of botanical interest. Each season we also select a plant family to study and members present different species within that family at each meeting.
This winter we are focusing on a different plant or group at each meeting and will be adding the topics as they become available.
