The Santa Cruz bryophyte was a type of moss first collected in the Santa Cruz mountain range in Bolivia in 1911. It was described as being epiphytic. It grew on larger plants and trees, using them as a support to get to sunlight and water. They were not known to be parasitic, but added to the Bolivian ecosystem. They were officially described by science in 1916 and were the only members of their genus. Not much is known about this bryophyte. It went extinct as logging altered the forests where it was found. These deforested areas were often replaced with farmland, so even if this moss survived the logging it would have no trees to grow vertically. It was declared to be extinct in 2002, but it probably went extinct long before that time when the forests were cleared for logging. Although Jurassic Park is fiction, scientists are working on several de-extinction projects. In fact, in 2003 scientists did bring back the extinct Pyrenean ibex, a type of wild goat, for 7 minutes before it died, showing de-extinction is possible. The Santa Cruz bryophyte might be a candidate. Scientists would potentially use DNA from the one and only specimen collected in 1911. If the flabellidium spinosum was brought to life, could it survive again in the Santa Cruz mountain range Bolivia?
