Samuel Elisée Bridel-Brideri
Samuel Elisée Bridel-Brideri (28 November 1761 in Crassier, Vaud – 7 January 1828) was a Swiss-German bryologist. He studied at the University of Lausanne, and at the age of 19 began work as a tutor to the princes of Saxe-Gotha-Altenburg. In 1804 he was appointed ''Geheimer Legationsrath'' to the Privy Council, and later on, he worked as a librarian in the city of Gotha. He was the author of an important work on mosses titled ''Muscologia recentiorum'' (1797-1803), of which several supplements were issued in the ensuing years. Later on, he published the two-volume ''Bryologia universa'' (1826–27), which was an improved edition of his earlier work. In the latter work he introduced a new system for classification of mosses; a system that is no longer used. The genus ''Bridelia'' was named in his honor by German botanist Carl Ludwig Willdenow (1765-1812). A portion of his herbarium is now housed at the Berlin Botanical Museum, and a number of his scientific papers are ke ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Moss
Mosses are small, non-vascular flowerless plants in the taxonomic division Bryophyta (, ) '' sensu stricto''. Bryophyta (''sensu lato'', Schimp. 1879) may also refer to the parent group bryophytes, which comprise liverworts, mosses, and hornworts. Mosses typically form dense green clumps or mats, often in damp or shady locations. The individual plants are usually composed of simple leaves that are generally only one cell thick, attached to a stem that may be branched or unbranched and has only a limited role in conducting water and nutrients. Although some species have conducting tissues, these are generally poorly developed and structurally different from similar tissue found in vascular plants. Mosses do not have seeds and after fertilisation develop sporophytes with unbranched stalks topped with single capsules containing spores. They are typically tall, though some species are much larger. ''Dawsonia'', the tallest moss in the world, can grow to in height. There are a ...
