What is another word for pleurocarp?
Pronunciation: [plˈɜːɹəkˌɑːp] (IPA) 
Pleurocarp is defined as any of various mosses that grow laterally in a dense mat or carpet. It is a common term used to describe the type of growth habit exhibited by some mosses which grow in a carpet-like formation. However, there are other synonyms you can use to describe this type of moss, such as creeping moss, prostrate moss, mat moss, or carpet moss. These alternative terms all refer to a type of mat-forming moss that grows prostrate along the ground or other surfaces. So, whether you prefer the more technical term "pleurocarp," or the more casual synonyms like mat moss or carpet moss, they all refer to the same type of moss growth habit.
