A cleistocarpous (rather than a cleistocarpic) moss is a moss whose capsules do not open to release the included spores. Only after decay of the moss and its capsules are the spores dispersed (over, of course, a relatively short distance). Phascum cuspidatum (Toothed phascum moss) is a well known example. HdB
