Campylopus
''Campylopus'' is a genus of 180 species of haplolepideous mosses (Dicranidae) in the family Leucobryaceae. The name comes from the Greek ''campylos'', meaning curved, and ''pous'', meaning foot, referring to the setae which curve downwards. Distribution The genus is represented worldwide, with species found in North America, Mexico, West Indies, Central America, South America, Europe, Asia, Africa, Atlantic Islands, Pacific Islands, and Australia. ''Campylopus bicolor'' is an example found in Australia. The North American list of species from the genus was revised by Jan-Peter Frahm in 1980. This was based on his own study of over 1,000 herbarium specimens. The most recent checklist of the mosses of North America lists 18 species as being present in North American flora. However, due to a misidentification, there are only 17 accepted species in the region. Species Species adapted from The Plant List; *'' Campylopus abbreviatus'' *'' Campylopus acicularis'' *'' Campylop ...
