Mid to late summer offers a short window for the plants in this alpine community to flower. With luck, you might see the tiny, sticky fly-eating leaves of the sundew (Drosera rotundifolia) and catch the flowers of the small cranberry (Vaccinium oxycoccus), creeping snow-berry (Gaultheria hispidula), and others.he sliding fen is a peatland perched on alpine bedrock at the top of bare slabs or cliffs. Sliding fens presumably become supersaturated from major rain events and slide off the cliff before peat build-up resumes (Sperduto and Cogbill 1999).
But under good conditions, the protonema ultimately grows into a young gametophyte plant. The gametophyte plant body is called a thallus, which means that it lacks xylem and phloem and therefore does not have true stem, true leaf or true root.The plant body may have conducting tissue and some of this has a familiar look.he Gametophyte Thallus. The dominant phase of the moss life cycle is the gametophyte (haploid). The small green plant you find as a moss in the woods is the haploid gametophyte. Many people think of mosses as living only in moist woods.
