Podperaea krylovii is a species of moss in the genus Podperaea . Found in Asia, it was transferred to the genus Podperaea by Zennosuke Iwatsuki and Janice Mildred Glime. [1] [2]
Bryophytes are a group of land plants, sometimes treated as a taxonomic division, that contains three groups of non-vascular land plants (embryophytes): the liverworts, hornworts and mosses. In the strict sense, Bryophyta consists of the mosses only. Bryophytes are characteristically limited in size and prefer moist habitats although they can survive in drier environments. The bryophytes consist of about 20,000 plant species. Bryophytes produce enclosed reproductive structures, but they do not produce flowers or seeds. They reproduce sexually by spores and asexually by fragmentation or the production of gemmae. Though bryophytes were considered a paraphyletic group in recent years, almost all of the most recent phylogenetic evidence supports the monophyly of this group, as originally classified by Wilhelm Schimper in 1879. The term bryophyte comes from Ancient Greek βρύον (brúon) 'tree moss, liverwort', and φυτόν (phutón) 'plant'.
Non-vascular plants are plants without a vascular system consisting of xylem and phloem. Instead, they may possess simpler tissues that have specialized functions for the internal transport of water.
Monoicy is a sexual system in haploid plants where both sperm and eggs are produced on the same gametophyte, in contrast with dioicy, where each gametophyte produces only sperm or eggs but never both. Both monoicous and dioicous gametophytes produce gametes in gametangia by mitosis rather than meiosis, so that sperm and eggs are genetically identical with their parent gametophyte.
The Bryopsida constitute the largest class of mosses, containing 95% of all moss species. It consists of approximately 11,500 species, common throughout the whole world.
Hypnaceae is a large family of moss with broad worldwide occurrence in the class Bryopsida, subclass Bryidae and order Hypnales. Genera include Hypnum, Phyllodon, and Taxiphyllum.
Fontinalis is a genus of submerged aquatic mosses belonging to the subclass Bryidae. These mosses are also called fountain moss, brook moss and water moss. The genus is widespread in the Northern Hemisphere and includes both species that occur in still water and in flowing water.
Fissidens grandifrons is a moss which is the largest of the family Fissidentaceae. It is found in turbulent water which it needs to get its carbon dioxide.
Dawsonia is a genus of acrocarpous mosses. Dawsonia, along with other members of the order Polytrichales, are taller than most mosses and have thicker leaves. Their sporophytes have conducting systems analogous to those of vascular plants. Dawsonia superba is found in New Zealand, Australia and New Guinea. D. longifolia is found in the Philippines, Indonesia, Malaysia, and Australia. There is uncertainty as to whether D. superba and D. longifolia are actually distinct species.
Bazzania trilobata, the greater whipwort or threelobed bazzania, is a species of liverwort in the Lepidoziaceae family. It grows in the northern hemisphere temperate zone.
Hydraena ateneo is a small aquatic beetle recently discovered in Metro Manila, the Philippines. It is predominantly brown, with yellow-brown antennae. Unlike other beetles in the genus Hydraena, Hydraena ateneo can be distinguished by its small size and distinct aedeagus. The species is named after the Ateneo de Manila University, Quezon City, where the species was discovered. The species can be found in freshwater areas around Manila.
Rhabdoweisiaceae is a family of haplolepideous mosses (Dicranidae) in the order Dicranales. It consists of 16 genera.
This list of 2013 in paleobotany records new fossil plant taxa that were described during 2013, as well as other significant discoveries and events related to paleobotany that occurred in the year.
Polytrichastrum formosum, commonly known as the bank haircap moss, is a species of moss belonging to the family Polytrichaceae.
Arctoa is a genus of mosses belonging to the family Dicranaceae.
Polytrichum hyperboreum is a species of moss belonging to the genus Polytrichum, commonly found throughout arctic regions of the world. Members of this dioecious species readily produces sporophytes with their sporophytic structure, consisting of a foot, seta, capsule, and a hairy calyptra, similar to other Polytrichum species. Polytrichum hyperboreum is distinguishable by certain unique features of there gametophytic structure that sets them apart from other genus members.
Andreaea blyttii, also commonly known as Blytt's rock moss, is a moss belonging to the family Andreaeaceae, commonly known as rock moss, granite moss, or lantern moss because of this family's unique sporangium. It is part of the genus Andreaea which is known for forming dark brownish or reddish-black carpets in high elevations. This species was first described by Schimper in 1855.
Podperaea is a genus of Asian mosses in the family Hypnaceae. It was erected by Zennosuke Iwatsuki and Janice Mildred Glime.
Podperaea baii is a species of moss from the genus Podperaea. It was discovered by Mikhail Stanislavovich Ignatov in 2011. In 2020, Podperaea baii had a synonym named Redfearnia baii.
Leptodontaceae is a family of mosses belonging to the order Hypnales. There are 3 genera with a worldwide distribution.
