A genus of small mosses found in rocky or mountainous habitats, characterized by tiny leaves and an extremely hardy nature.
Named after Johann Friedrich Wilhelm Grimm, a 19th-century German botanist. The Latinized genus name follows binomial nomenclature conventions.
Grimmia moss is so tough it can survive on bare rock where no other plant grows—it literally helps create soil from stone, making it a geological force on mountains worldwide.
