Dawsonia superba is a large moss, growing typically to 60 cm in height. It is the tallest self supporting moss in the world, but the vine Spiridens reinwardtii climbs to ten feet (3 meters). On Mount Kinabalu in Malaysian Borneo, Dawsonia supurba has been measured to forty inches (1 meter) in height.
Dawsonia superba may be the same as species as Dawsonia longifolia.
