Andreaea frigida

Andreaea frigida (Icy rock-moss) is a species of moss in the Andreaeaceae family. This species is endemic to mountains of Austria, Czech Republic, France, Germany, Hungary, Italy, Norway, Romania, Poland, and Spain. In the United Kingdom, it is widespread in Cairngorms National Park, and often times not found anywhere else in this country.

The earliest records for its United Kingdom date to 1854 (though its existence wasn't formally recognized until 1988), where it is classificed as "Vulnerable". It is believed that its biggest threat towards not surviving is global warming.
