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 ...

Pottiaceae
The Pottiaceae are a Family (biology), family of mosses. They form the most numerous moss family known, containing nearly 1500 species or more than 10% of the 10,000 to 15,000 moss species known. Genera The family has four subfamilies and 83 genera. * Subfamily Trichostomoideae **''Bryoceuthospora'' **''Calymperastrum'' **''Calyptopogon'' **''Chionoloma'' **''Eucladium'' **''Leptobarbula'' **''Neophoenix'' **''Pachyneuropsis'' **''Pleurochaete'' **''Pottiopsis'' **''Pseudosymblepharis'' **''Quaesticula'' **''Streptocalypta'' **''Tetracoscinodon'' **''Tetrapterum'' **''Tortella (plant), Tortella'' Lindb. **''Trachycarpidium'' **''Trichostomum'' **''Oxystegus'' **''Tuerckheimia (plant), Tuerckheima'' Broth. **''Uleobryum'' **''Weissia'' **''Weissiodicranum'' * Subfamily Barbuloideae **''Anoectangium'' **''Barbula'' **''Bellibarbula'' **''Bryoerythrophyllum'' **''Cinclidotus'' **''Dialytrichia'' **''Didymodon'' (e.g. ''Didymodon tomaculosus'') **''Erythrophyllopsis'' **''Ganguleea' ...

Cosmopolitan Distribution
In biogeography, cosmopolitan distribution is the term for the range of a taxon that extends across all or most of the world in appropriate habitats. Such a taxon, usually a species, is said to exhibit cosmopolitanism or cosmopolitism. The extreme opposite of a cosmopolitan species is an endemic one, being found only in a single geographical location. Qualification The caveat “in appropriate habitat” is used to qualify the term "cosmopolitan distribution", excluding in most instances polar regions, extreme altitudes, oceans, deserts, or small, isolated islands. For example, the housefly is highly cosmopolitan, yet is neither oceanic nor polar in its distribution. Related terms and concepts The term pandemism also is in use, but not all authors are consistent in the sense in which they use the term; some speak of pandemism mainly in referring to diseases and pandemics, and some as a term intermediate between endemism and cosmopolitanism, in effect regarding pandemism as ...
