Douinia is a genus of liverworts belonging to the family Scapaniaceae. [1]
The species of this genus are found in Eurasia and Northern America. [1]
The genus name of Douinia is in honour of Charles Isidore Douin (1858 – 1944), who was a French bryologist who was a native of Bouville, Eure-et-Loir. [2]
The genus was circumscribed by Christian Erasmus Otterstrøm Jensen in Commentat. Biol. Vol.3 (Issue 1) on page 13 in 1928.
Jungermanniales is the largest order of liverworts. They are distinctive among the liverworts for having thin leaf-like flaps on either side of the stem. Most other liverworts are thalloid, with no leaves.
Jungermanniopsida is the largest of three classes within the division Marchantiophyta (liverworts).
The putative Wych Elm cultivar Ulmus glabra 'Holgeri' originated in Sweden, where it was described by Holger Jensen of Ramlösa Plantskola, Helsingborg, in 1921. It was distributed by the Späth nursery of Berlin in the 1920s and '30s as Ulmus montana Holgeri. Späth used U. montana both for wych and for U. × hollandica hybrids like 'Dampieri', so the name does not necessarily imply a wych cultivar. In The Netherlands the tree was classified as an Ulmus × hollandica hybrid, a 1932 herbarium specimen from a tree in The Hague supplied by Späth being labelled Ulmus hollandica var. holgeri (Jensen).
