Leucobryaceae

	Leucobryaceae Leucobryaceae is a family of haplolepideous mosses (Dicranidae) in the order Dicranales. Description Members of the family grow small to large cushions. Species are characterized by having thick, whitish leaves with a large, expanded costa. It has been suggested that the characteristic pale color exhibited by some species is caused by air bubbles in the leucocysts, and the presence of air in the leaf is assumed characteristic of the Leucobryaceae.Robinson, H. 1985.

Classification The Leucobryaceae have been sometimes included in the Dicranaceae because of similar costa and peristome structures.

	Leucobryum ''Leucobryum'' is a genus of Peristome#In mosses, haplolepideous mosses (Dicranidae) in the family Leucobryaceae. The name comes from the Greek leukos, meaning white, and bryon, meaning moss. Description Leucobryum species are in found in erect, dense, and often rounded cushions. Their color varies from white to grayish or bluish-green. Species are characterized by having thick, whitish leaves with a large, expanded costa. It has been suggested that the characteristic pale color exhibited by some species is caused by air bubbles in the leucocysts. The bubbles are theorized to be necessary for the function of the chlorocysts for the purpose of gas exchange. Species are dioecious, with male plants stunted and found growing among the leaves of the female plants. Sporophytes are rare. There are approximately 122 species of Leucobryum worldwide. Only two species are known to occur in North America. Species Species adapted from The Plant List; ''Leucobryum acutifolium'' ''Leuco ...

	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.

	Jules Cardot Jules Cardot (18 August 1860 – 22 November 1934) was a French people, French botany, botanist and bryology, bryologist considered in his time one of the world's leading experts on the mosses of Antarctica. He was the son-in-law of botanist Louis Alexandre Henri Joseph Piré, Louis Piré. His collection of herbarium specimens at his laboratories in Charleville, Marne, Charleville was heavily looted and damaged during World War I. The French Academy of Sciences awarded the 1893 "Prix Montague" to Cardot for his work on mosses. Cardot named 40 genera and 1200 species. Works Cardot, J.

	Georg Ernst Ludwig Hampe Georg Ernst Ludwig Hampe (5 July 1795 – 23 November 1880) was a German pharmacist, botanist and bryologist who was a native of Fürstenberg. In 1810 he became an apprentice pharmacist to his uncle in Brakel, and over the next fifteen years worked in several different pharmacies, including one in Halle an der Saale, where he made the acquaintance of botanist Kurt Sprengel (1766-1833). He also worked at the university pharmacy in Göttingen, and at establishments in Allendorf and Braunschweig. In 1825 he became head of a local pharmacy in Blankenburg am Harz, where he remained its director up until 1864. During his time spent in Blankenburg, Hampe collected and studied flora native to the Harz Mountains. He was particularly interested in mosses, and through his association with bryologist Karl Müller (1818-1899), he became exposed to non-European species from the Americas, Madagascar, New Zealand, Australia, et al. In his collaborative research with Müller, he described nume ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu]
