Dicranoweisia is a genus of mosses belonging to the family Rhabdoweisiaceae. [1]
The genus has cosmopolitan distribution. [2]
There are 34 accepted species, including: [2]
The Marchantiophyta are a division of non-vascular land plants commonly referred to as hepatics or liverworts. Like mosses and hornworts, they have a gametophyte-dominant life cycle, in which cells of the plant carry only a single set of genetic information. The division name was derived from the genus name Marchantia, named by French botanist Jean Marchant after his father.
Takakia is a genus of two species of mosses known from western North America and central and eastern Asia. The genus is placed as a separate family, order and class among the mosses. It has had a history of uncertain placement, but the discovery of sporophytes clearly of the moss-type firmly supports placement with the mosses.
The Funariidae are a widespread group of mosses in class Bryopsida. The majority of species belong to the genera Funaria and Physcomitrium.
Acritodon is a genus of moss in the family Hypnaceae. It is a monotypic genus only containing the species Acritodon nephophilusAcritodon nephophilus is endemic to Mexico, where it is known only from two locations in the Sierra Madre de Oaxaca of Oaxaca state. Its natural habitat is subtropical or tropical moist lowland forests. It is threatened by habitat loss. Conservation efforts for this species have difficulty protecting local populations due to insufficient attention and legislation regarding preservation of moss species.
Pottiales is an order of mosses in the subclass Dicranidae.
Andreaeobryum is a genus of moss with a single species Andreaeobryum macrosporum, endemic to Alaska and western Canada. The genus is placed as a separate family, order and class among the mosses.
Bryales is an order of mosses.
Fissidentaceae is a family of haplolepideous mosses (Dicranidae) in the order Dicranales, with a single genus, Fissidens. It was formerly placed in the now-obsolete order Fissidentales.
This is a list of the flora of the South Sandwich Islands, a group of islands in the subantarctic Atlantic Ocean, part of the British overseas territory of South Georgia and the South Sandwich Islands. The list contains flora in the strict sense; that is, plants only. It comprises a single species of vascular plant, 38 mosses, and 11 liverworts. Unusually, not a single species is known to have naturalised on the islands; all are presumed native.
Dicranoweisia crispula, the mountain pincushion, is a species of mosses that lives at both poles. It grows in the South Shetland Islands and on the Antarctic Peninsula.
Pseudoditrichum is a rare North American genus of haplolepideous moss (Dicranidae). It is the only known genus in its family (Pseudoditrichaceae), and there is only one species in the genus. Pseudoditrichum mirabile has been found only in a small area along the Sloan River near Great Bear Lake. This is in the Northwest Territory in northern Canada, only a few kilometers south of the Arctic Circle.
Chrysoblastella is a genus of haplolepideous mosses (Dicranidae) in the monotypic family Chrysoblastellaceae. The genus was previously placed in the family Ditrichaceae.
Rhabdoweisiaceae is a family of haplolepideous mosses in subfamily Dicranidae. It was previously place in the order Dicranales, but is now placed in order Rhabdoweisiales, along with family Rhachitheciaceae.
Flexitrichum is a genus of haplolepideous mosses (Dicranidae) in the family Flexitrichaceae.
Distichium is a genus of haplolepideous mosses (Dicranidae) in the monotypic family Distichiaceae.
Catoscopium is a genus of haplolepidous mosses (Dicranidae) in the monotypic family Catoscopiaceae .
Micromitrium is a genus of haplolepideous mosses (Dicranidae) in the monotypic family Micromitriaceae . The genus Micrometrium was previously placed in family Pottiaceae in order Pottiales.
Saelania is a genus of mosses in the monotypic family Saelaniaceae in subclass Dicranidae. The genus was previously placed in family Ditrichaceae. Saelania is named after Finnish botanist Thiodolf Saelan.
