Is spanish moss really a moss?
Yes, "spanish moss" is the common name for a plant (not a moss at all) closely related to pineapples, surprisingly enough. True mosses, unlike spanish moss, are so categorized because they lack a vascular system (internal water transport system, e.g. leaf veins). Spanish moss is an epiphyte, meaning is grows on other plants for structural support and access to resources, but generally causes the host plan no harm (although via shading it may reduce the host plant's photosynthetic capacity). Spanish moss, or Tillandsia usneoides, has no roots, so it must absorb moisture and nutrients through scales on its leaves. Although it flowers and reproduces by seed (classifying the plant as an angiosperm), both are tiny and inconspicuous. Seeds are dispersed by wind, birds, and even wildlife; plants grow readily once a seed is established onto its host. Some interesting facts: Spanish moss was used to stuff furniture, car seats, and mattresses, and was considered a cooling substrate before the advent of air conditioning. Bats and many songbirds use the "moss" for habitat construction or cover, but so do chiggers!
