They are distinguished by their spores; the peristome Peristome (from the Greek ''peri'', meaning 'around' or 'about', and ''stoma'', 'mouth') is an anatomical feature that surrounds an opening to an organ or structure.

Pseudoditrichaceae
''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 Great Bear Lake ( den, Sahtú; french: Grand lac de l'Ours) is a lake in the boreal forest of Canada. It is the largest lake entirely in Canada (Lake Superior and Lake Huron are larger but straddle the Canada–US border), the fourth-largest .... This is in the Northwest Territory in northern Canada, only a few kilometers south of the Arctic Circle. ''Pseudoditrichum mirabile'' is unusual in that the combination of the gametophyte features and the sporophyte morphology do not match any other moss family. The entire plant is a mere 3 mm tall, growing on moist silt, generally underneath '' Populus''. It spreads vegetatively by means of spherical underground tubers as w ...

Baltic Amber
The Baltic region is home to the largest known deposit of amber, called Baltic amber or succinite. It was produced sometime during the Eocene epoch, but exactly when is controversial. It has been estimated that these forests created more than 100,000 tons of amber. Today, more than 90% of the world's amber comes from Kaliningrad Oblast of Russia. It is a major source of income for the region; the local Kaliningrad Amber Combine extracted 250 tonnes of it in 2014, 400 tonnes in 2015. "Baltic amber" was formerly thought to include amber from the Bitterfeld Lignite, brown coal mines in Saxony (Eastern Germany). Bitterfeld amber was previously believed to be only 20–22 million years old (Miocene), but a comparison of the animal inclusions in 2003 suggested that it was possibly Baltic amber that was redeposited in a Miocene deposit. Further study of insect taxa in the ambers has shown Bitterfeld amber to be from the same forest as the Baltic amber forest, but separately deposited f ...

Rhizomnium Dentatum
''Rhizomnium dentatum'' is an extinct species of moss in the family Mniaceae. The species is solely known from the Middle Eocene Baltic amber deposits in the Baltic Sea region of Europe. The genus contains a total of thirteen extant species distributed across the northern hemisphere. History and classification ''Rhizomnium dentatum'' is known from a small group of fossil gametophyte shoots which are inclusions in a transparent chunk of Baltic amber. The amber specimen also contains seven shoots of a '' Pyrrhobryum'' species moss, three shoot fragments of a pleurocarpous, flat laying, hypnalian moss, and part of a centipede. When the fossil was described it was part of the amber collections housed in the American Museum of Natural History. The amber was recovered from fossil bearing rocks in the Baltic Sea region of Europe. Estimates of the age date between 37 million years old, for the youngest sediments and 48 million years old. This age range straddles the middle Eocene, ra ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Bryum Capillare
''Ptychostomum capillare'', formerly designed as ''Bryum capillare,'' is a species of moss belonging to the family Bryaceae. It has cosmopolitan distribution. ''Ptychostomum capillare'' is known to be able to use artificial light to grow in places which are otherwise devoid of natural light, such as Crystal Cave in Wisconsin Wisconsin () is a state in the upper Midwestern United States. Wisconsin is the 25th-largest state by total area and the 20th-most populous. It is bordered by Minnesota to the west, Iowa to the southwest, Illinois to the south, Lake M ....

Karl Gustav Limpricht
Karl Gustav Limpricht (11 July 1834, Eckersdorf near Sagan – 20 October 1902, Breslau) was a German schoolteacher and bryologist. His son, Hans Wolfgang Limpricht (born 1877), was a botanical collector in China. From 1856 to 1858 he taught classes in the community of Obergläsersdorf (near Lüben), then spent several years as an instructor at the Mädchen gymnasium in Bunzlau (1858–1869). From 1869 onward, he was a teacher at the Evangelical high school in Breslau. In 1895 he attained the position of ''Oberlehrer''.Karl Gustav Limpricht (11.7.1834-20.10.1902) Geschichte der Bryologie in der Schweiz He was the author of a major work on native to |
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 ...
