Dicranella heteromalla is found to have a satisfactory holotype.[2] Dicranella heteromalla possesses an structured designed to endure acidic environments. In addition, it has multipurpose systems that allow a satisfactory adaption. For example, the wild rhizoid system of D. heteromalla forms a dense, matted network of filaments of different diameters, which evidences that its major role is solute uptake rather than anchorage.
