Polytrichum
''Polytrichum'' is a genus of mosses — commonly called haircap moss or hair moss — which contains approximately 70 species that cover a cosmopolitan distribution. The genus ''Polytrichum'' has a number of closely related sporophytic characters. The scientific name is derived from the Ancient Greek words ''polys'', meaning "many", and ''thrix'', meaning "hair". This name was used in ancient times to refer to plants with fine, hairlike parts, including mosses, but this application specifically refers to the hairy calyptras found on young sporophytes. A similar naming related to hair appears in Old Norse, ''haddr silfjar'', "hair of Sif", goddess from Norse Mythology, wife of the god Thor. There are two major sections of ''Polytrichum'' species. The first — section ''Polytrichum'' — has narrow, toothed, and relatively erect leaf margins. The other — section ''Juniperifolia'' — has broad, entire, and sharply inflexed leaf margins that enclose the lamellae on the upper lea ...
