Some culture work on mosses was also attempted. The flora of Schirmacher Oasis is Schumacher Oasis is wholly cryptogamic i.e. of non-flowering plants namely algae, fungi, lichens and mosses. The other groups of Bryophytes namely Liverworts and Horn worts are completely absent in Schirmacher Oasis. Mosses are the dominating form of vegetation and also act as host for the growth of not only other plant groups namely algae, fungi, and lichens but also for micro invertebrate fauna. There are some muscicolous lichens which grow on mosses, damage the moss tissue and inhibit its growth.
