Tetraphidaceae
Tetraphidaceae is a family of mosses. It includes only the two genera ''Tetraphis'' and ''Tetrodontium'', each with two species. The defining feature of the family is the 4-toothed peristome. Range This family of mosses is most commonly found in northern latitudes. ''Tetraphis'' ''Tetraphis pellucida'' is the most common species in the family and is usually found in deciduous forests. Its leaves become wider in colder climates, which often leads to a misclassification of the species. ''Tetraphis geniculata'' is less commonly found and also appears in northern latitudes. The species often grows alongside the only other species in the genus, ''T. pellucida''. Both ''Tetraphis'' species are found growing on moist sedimentary rocks and also on soil with high organic content, but the genus is mostly found growing on rotting logs. ''Tetrodontium'' ''Tetrodontium brownianum'' grows most frequently on wet and shady rocks, of either granite or sandstone. The species normally gr ...

Flora Of Alaska
Flora (: floras or florae) is all the plant life present in a particular region or time, generally the naturally occurring ( indigenous) native plants. The corresponding term for animals is ''fauna'', and for fungi, it is '' funga''. Sometimes bacteria and fungi are also referred to as flora as in the terms ''gut flora'' or ''skin flora''. Etymology The word "flora" comes from the Latin name of Flora, the goddess of plants, flowers, and fertility in Roman mythology. The technical term "flora" is then derived from a metonymy of this goddess at the end of the sixteenth century. It was first used in poetry to denote the natural vegetation of an area, but soon also assumed the meaning of a work cataloguing such vegetation. Moreover, "Flora" was used to refer to the flowers of an artificial garden in the seventeenth century. The distinction between vegetation (the general appearance of a community) and flora (the taxonomic composition of a community) was first made by Jules Thurma ...

Flora Of Japan
The flora of Japan comprises a large assemblage of plant species which can be found in Japan, such as sakura, katsura, momiji and azalea. There are many species which are endemic to Japan. Diversity Japan has significant diversity in flora. Of approximately 5,600 total vascular plant species, almost 40% are endemic. This richness is due to the significant variation in latitude and altitude across the country, a diversity of climatic conditions due to monsoons, and multiple geohistorical incidences of connections with the mainland. Vegetation types Japan consists of roughly 4 vegetation zones that are delineated by temperature and precipitation: the alpine region, subalpine region, summer-green broad-leaved forest region and evergreen broad-leaved forest region. Due to its substantial length of over 3,000 km from north to south and its mountain ranges that can exceed 3,000 meters, Japan's vegetation varies by latitude and by altitude. Evergreen forests tend to appear ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
