Fissidens microstictus is an extinct species of moss in the family Fissidentaceae. It was endemic to Madeira, Portugal. The species was last seen in 1982 but was considered extinct by 1992 due to construction in its natural habitat.[2][1]
Distribution and habitat
[edit]Fissidens microstictus grew on basaltic rocks between 78 m and 313 m in altitude. It was only known from three sites in the parish of Monte, near Funchal.[3]
