Hi Rathinasabapathy Ji. This is not Niligirianthus I presume because the flowers look very different. Next the mosses never flower because they are from the group of non- flowering plants the elongated reproduction structure visible is actually a sporophyte. You can check the life cycle of moss from the link below. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moss Thanks Tanay
