Description
This specimen is a dense clump of Showy Bristle Moss, a bryophyte, growing on a decaying branch alongside lichen. It is not a bonsai tree, but rather a small, vibrant green plant forming a cushion-like growth. Its individual stalks are upright, giving it a bristly appearance, resembling a miniature forest.
