Plagiomnium is a genus of mosses in the family Mniaceae. [1] It was formerly a part of a more encompassing genus Mnium and in 1968 Finish bryologist Timo Juhani Koponen justified splitting the genus into a number of smaller genera. [2]
This genus is characterized by singly placed marginal teeth. [3] [4]
Plagiomnium are commonly found along shaded stream banks, seeps and springs, generally on soil with a high humus content.
The genus Plagiomnium contains the following species: [5]
Funaria is a genus of approximately 210 species of moss. Funaria hygrometrica is the most common species. Funaria hygrometrica is called “cord moss” because of the twisted seta which is very hygroscopic and untwists when moist. The name is derived from the Latin word “funis”, meaning "a rope". In funaria root like structures called rhizoids are present.
