Lembophyllaceae
Lembophyllaceae is a family of pleurocarpous mosses in the order Hypnales. It was originally described by Finnish botanist Viktor Ferdinand Brotherus (1849–1929) in 1909. The family is mainly found in Australasia and southern South America. Taxonomy Lembophyllaceae is closely related to the family Neckeraceae. Members of Lembophyllaceae are differentiated from Neckeraceae by their typically terete shoots (vs. mostly complanate), the leaves being mostly often loosely appressed, and frequently well-developed peristomes (vs. reduced or 'neckeroid' periostomes). Genera include: * '' Antitrichia'' Bridel-Brederi - western North America * '' Bestia'' Broth. – western North America * '' Camptochaete'' Reichardt – Australasia * '' Dolichomitra'' (Lindberg) Broth. – Southeast Asia * '' Dolichomitriopsis'' S.Okamura – Southeast Asia * '' Fallaciella'' H.

Hypnales
Hypnales is the botanical name of an order of Bryophyta or leafy mosses. This group is sometimes called feather mosses, referring to their freely branched stems. The order includes more than 40 families and more than 4,000 species, making them the largest order of mosses. Description Hypnales are mosses with pinnately or irregularly branched, reclining stems, with varying appearances. The stem contains only a reduced central vascular bundle, which is seen as a recent derived trait in mosses. The stems are covered with paraphyllia or pseudoparaphyllia, reduced filamentous or scaly leaves. The ordinary stem leaves are ovate to lanceolate, often with leaf wing cells. The midvein is often limited to the lower half of the leaf blade, or has completely disappeared. The cells of the leaf blade are prosenchymatic, many times longer than wide, with pointed ends interlocking. The sporophyte consists of a regularly shaped sporangium on a long stalk or seta. The spores are distribut ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Weymouthia (plant)
''Weymouthia'' is a genus of two species belonging to the feather mosses. ''Weymouthia'' occurs in southern South America, New Zealand and south-eastern Australia and Lord Howe Island. It is characterised by (i) its monopodial, often hanging growth form; (ii) slight differences between stem and branch leaves; and (iii) the straight perichaetial leaves. In contrast to other genera in the Lembophyllaceae, secondary stems appear unable to arch back to the substrate and then root and form a new creeping stem. Etymology ''Weymouthia'' was named in honour of William Anderson Weymouth (1842–1932), a prominent Tasmanian botanist. The species epithet An epithet (, ), also byname, is a descriptive term (word or phrase) known for accompanying or occurring in place of a name and having entered common usage. It has various shades of meaning when applied to seemingly real or fictitious people, di ... ''mollis'' meaning soft, flabby, weak or feeble in Latin, refers to the exclusivel ...

Bestia (plant)

Isothecium Myosuroides
''Isothecium myosuroides'', commonly known as slender mouse-tail moss or tree moss, is a true moss that grows abundantly on both rocks and trees. It is native to Western and Eastern North America, as well as parts of Western Europe. It grows preferentially on angiosperms rather than on conifers Conifers are a group of cone-bearing seed plants, a subset of gymnosperms. Scientifically, they make up the division Pinophyta (), also known as Coniferophyta () or Coniferae. The division contains a single extant class, Pinopsida. All extan ... because of the manner in which the former take in water creating an ideal moist habitat for the moss to grow on, and because many trees in the flowering plant families are less acidic than coniferous species of trees. ''Isothecium myosuroides'' also can grow on rocks. References Lembophyllaceae {{hypnales-stub ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Viktor Ferdinand Brotherus
Viktor Ferdinand Brotherus (28 October 1849 – 9 February 1929), Finnish botanist who studied the mosses (Bryophyta), best known for authoring the treatment of 'Musci' in Adolf Engler, Engler and Karl Anton Eugen Prantl, Prantl's ''Die Natürlichen Pflanzenfamilien, Die Naturlichen Pflanzenfamilien''. Personal life Brotherus was born in Skarpans in Sund, Åland while Finland was under Grand Duchy of Finland, Russian rule. He had 13 brothers and sisters of whom six died young. He took his Candidate of Philosophy degree in 1870 at Imperial Alexander University (later University of Helsinki) and began medical studies but gave them up after getting Blood-poisoning, blood poisoning and became a teacher.
