👉 An orthodicranum is a type of plant that grows in an upright position, often with its leaves facing upwards or downwards. These plants are known for their distinctive leaf shape and structure, which can vary from species to species but tend to have flat, rounded leaves that are often arranged in rows along the stem. The term "orthodicranum" is derived from the Latin word "orthodactylus," meaning a plant with a flattened or curved shape.
