Moss at the Giouji Temple, Kyoto Japan
When I was at the Giouji Temple (祇王寺) the other day (intro · gates and walls), I overheard a taxi driver tell his customers that there were 18 different types of moss at the temple. I believe it, and they seemed to be mixed and matched all over.

Oh, and Over Here... More Moss!
They had a little display showing the types of moss to be found on the grounds. The names are in Japanese (and seem to be native Japanese, rather than phonetic representations of the Latin names).
