Calliergon is a genus of moss in the order Hypnales. The species in the genus are commonly referred to as calliergon mosses.
The following species are recognised in the genus Calliergon: [1]
Dicranum is a genus of mosses, also called wind-blown mosses or fork mosses. These mosses form in densely packed clumps. Stems may fork, but do not branch. In general, upright stems will be single but packed together. Dicranum is distributed globally. In North America these are commonly found in Jack pine or Red pine stands.
Calliergon cordifolium is a species of moss in the Calliergonaceae family, commonly known as the calliergon moss or heart-leaved spearmoss. The species is abundant in the right habitat, and grows in marshes and wet woodland, especially woodland of alder (Alnus) or willow (Salix), as well as around streams, ditches and pools. The species grows in tufts among other moss species. Calliergon cordifolium requires a wet environment to grow, and often grows completely submerged in water. It typically prefers lowland, but has been recorded as high as 910 metres (1,000 yd) above sea level in Inverness, Scotland. The species has a circumpolar Boreo-temperate distribution. It is found throughout Europe. It has been recorded in north and central Asia, as well as Turkey and Japan, throughout North America and in New Zealand.
Pogonatum is a genus of mosses — commonly called spike moss — which contains approximately 70 species that cover a cosmopolitan distribution. It can be seen mostly in Asian countries with a tropical climate.
Ditrichum is a genus of haplolepideous mosses (Dicranidae) in the family Ditrichaceae.
Tortula is a genus of mosses in the family Pottiaceae.
Thuidium is a genus of moss in the family Thuidiaceae. The name comes from the genus Thuja and the Latin suffix -idium, meaning diminutive. This is due to its resemblance to small cedar trees.
Aloina is a genus of mosses belonging to the family Pottiaceae first described by Nils Conrad Kindberg. It has a cosmopolitan distribution.
Didymodon is a genus of mosses belonging to the family Pottiaceae. The genus has a cosmopolitan distribution.
Plagiothecium is a genus of moss belonging to the family Plagiotheciaceae. It has a cosmopolitan distribution.
Rhynchostegium is a genus of pleurocarpous mosses belonging to the family Brachytheciaceae. The genus has a cosmopolitan distribution across different climatological regions except the polar regions, mostly in tropic to north temperate regions. The genus contains both aquatic and terrestrial species. The genus was named for their rostrate opercula. The type species of this genus is Rhynchostegium confertum (Dicks.) Schimp.
Calliergon richardsonii, Richardson's calliergon moss, is a species of moss belonging to the family Amblystegiaceae.
Campylium is a genus of mosses belonging to the family Amblystegiaceae.
Drepanocladus is a genus of mosses belonging to the family Amblystegiaceae. It has a cosmopolitan distribution
