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 ...

''Anomodon attenuatus''), the tree-skirt moss, poodle moss, or anomodon moss, is a species of moss in the family Neckeraceae Neckeraceae is a moss family in the order Hypnales. There are about 200 species native to temperate and tropical regions. Most grow on rocks, or other plants.

Anomobryum Julaceum
''Anomobryum julaceum'', the slender silver-moss, is a species of bryophyte native to all continents except South America and Antarctica. ''A. julaceum'' is found widespread in the temperate regions of the Northern and Southern Hemispheres. Its capsules mature beginning in late fall and through the spring. It is most commonly found in wet crevices and on sandstone cliffs. Additional micro-habitats include tussock tundra with seeps and late snow melt areas and on granitic outcrops. In eastern North America it appears to be restricted to acid habitats, in the wet crevices of sandstone cliffs or other seepy niches. Overall, ''A. julaceum'' resembles species of the genus ''Pohlia'', and its leaves are similar to those of ''Bryum argenteum''; it can only be separated from ''Pohlia'' and ''Bryum'' using a microscope. ''Anomobryum julaceum'' can be distinguished from ''Bryum argenteum'' by its strongly julaceous, shiny leaves. Taxonomic history A number of names have been used for thi ...

Andreaea Sinuosa
''Andreaea'' is a genus of rock mosses described by Johann Hedwig in 1801. They are small, delicate acrocarpous mosses (meaning that the capsules are formed at the tips of vertical branches) that form dark brown or reddish cushions on wet siliceous rocks in mountainous areas. The capsule lacks the peristome teeth and operculum of other mosses, and opens by splitting along 4 vertical slits, the four valves remaining joined at the base and apex. The capsule of ''Andreaea'' has no seta, but the sporophyte (''Spf'' in the diagram below) instead is supported by a pseudopodium (''ps'') derived from gametophyte tissue, as in ''Sphagnum'' and the columella is enclosed within the sporangium. The spores germinate to give thalloid Thallus (plural: thalli), from Latinized Ancient Greek, Greek (), meaning "a green shoot" or "twig", is the vegetative tissue of some organisms in diverse groups such as algae, fungi, some Marchantiophyta, liverworts, lichens, and the Myxogastr ... proton ...

Andreaea Rupestris
''Andreaea rupestris'' is a species of moss in the class Andreaeopsida, are commonly referred to as the "lantern mosses" due to the appearance of their dehisced sporangia. It is typically found on smooth, acidic, exposed rock in the Northern hemisphere. It exhibits the common features of the genus ''Andreaea'' such as being acrocarpous, having dark pigmentation, lacking a seta, and bearing 4 lines of dehiscence in its mature sporangia, but can be further identified upon careful examination of its gametophytic leaves which have an ovate base to a more blunt apex compared to other similar species. Taxonomy and classification ''Andreaea rupestris'' is in the genus ''Andreaea ''Andreaea'' is a genus of rock mosses described by Johann Hedwig in 1801.

Andreaea Rothii
''Andreaea rothii'', or Roth's andreaea moss, is a species of moss in the family Andreaeaceae native to North America and parts of Europe. This plant was described in 1807 by Weber and Mohr. Description ''Andreaea rothii'' gametophytes sometimes form extensive black to brown cushion-like patches, with individual shoots erect and less than 2 cm tall. The leaves of ''Andreaea rothii'' are 1-2 cm wide, and have a strong costa, which is roughly synonymous to a midrib. The leaves can be falcate-secund, curving to one side of the plant. This is especially true when wet, however the plants do not alter much when dry. The outline of the leaf is pear-shaped, swelling at the base and tapering to a tip, and can also be strongly curved depending on subspecies. Distribution ''Andreaea rothii'' grows on rocks that are wet, acidic, and exposed. This species is found anywhere from areas of high elevation to sea-level. Reproduction ''Andreae rothii'' gametophytes can be gonioautoicous& ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Andreaea Nivalis
''Andreaea nivalis'', also known as snow rock-moss, is a species of moss in the Andreaea family found in Alaska, California, Oregon, Washington, Greenland, Spain, Japan, Russia and Poland. It is black and reddish, dioicous, and grows on wet, acidic rocks. It is threatened by droughts and global warming, and is a near-threatened species on the IUCN red list. Description ''Andreaea nivalis'' was first described in 1811. It is black and reddish, and grows in dense cushions. Its leaves can be secund to falcate-secund, meaning they can be sickle-shaped, and curved towards one side. They are mostly subulate, meaning they are awl-shaped. The leaves are mainly falcate-secund when dry. When moist, they are more spread out than when dry. The leaves have a strong costa, and they can have a width of or more, and a length of or more. ''Andreaea nivalis'' has sharp laminal papillae on its dorsal side, which almost reach to its base, and a very short fruit stalk. Unlike other mosses in its spe ...
