The incomplete preservation and lack of key characters that could define the position of an ancient moss in modern classification remain the problem. Carboniferous records are still impossible to refer to any of the modern moss taxa. Numerous Permian protosphagnalean mosses possess traits that are absent in any extant group and they are therefore treated here as an extinct lineage, whose descendants, if any remain, cannot be recognized among contemporary taxa. Non-protosphagnalean Permian mosses were also fairly diverse, representing morphotypes comparable with Dicranidae and acrocarpous Bryidae, although unequivocal representatives of these subclasses are known only since Cretaceous and Jurassic. Even though Sphagnales is one of two oldest lineages separated from the main trunk of moss phylogenetic tree, it appears in fossil state regularly only since Late Cretaceous, ca. -
SPECIES FACT SHEET Ryszard's Racomitrium Moss
SPECIES FACT SHEET Common Name: Ryszard's racomitrium moss Scientific Name: Codriophorus ryszardii Recent synonyms: Racomitrium ryszardii. All reports of Racomitrium aquaticum (= Codriophorus aquaticus) from North America refer to Codriophorus ryszardii. Division: Bryophyta Class: Bryopsida Order: Grimmiales Family: Grimmiaceae Taxonomic Note: All North American records for Codriophorus aquaticus (= Racomitrium aquaticum) have been renamed Codriophorus ryszardii (= Racomitrium ryszardii), and C. aquaticum has been restricted to the Old World (Benarek-Ochyra 2000; Ochyra and Benarek-Ochyra 2004a). Nomenclature used in this species fact sheet follows the conspectus for the Racomitroideae proposed for use in the Bryophyte Flora of North America (Ochyra and Benarek-Ochyra 2004b). Technical Description: Plants trailing or to erect, 1-10 cm long, branched irregularly. Leaves green, yellow-green to blackish below, linear-lanceolate, straight or curved at shoot tips, imbricate when dry, 2- 4 mm long, 0.4-1 mm wide, tapered to a rounded, roughened tip; margins entire, recurved, lacking row of large thin-walled cells at base; costa forming prominent keel at back of leaf, extending nearly to leaf tip and never forming an awn; leaf cells multipapillose, the cell walls sinuose-wavy. Setae 4-8 mm long, twisted clockwise when dry. Capsules 2-3 mm long, cylindrical. Peristome teeth 0.6-0.8 mm long. Distinctive characters: (1) Leaf cells multipapillose, (2) leaves imbricate, strongly keeled and consistently awnless, (3) leaves bright green to yellow-green, (4) peristome 1 mm long, (5) moist shaded rock substrate. Similar species: Codriophorus varius (= Racomitrium varium) is very similar, but (1) usually at least some of its leaves have distinct awns, (2) its peristome teeth are an astonishing 1-1.7 mm long, forming a tepee-shaped cone that is frequently broken, and (3) its habitat on rocks, logs and soil is usually drier than that of C. -

An Overview of Family Pottiaceae (Bryopsida) in Central India with Special Reference to Pachmarhi Biosphere Reserve (PBR)
Lindbergia 34: 30–39, 2011 ISSN 0105-0761 Accepted 11 January 2011 An overview of family Pottiaceae (Bryopsida) in central India with special reference to Pachmarhi Biosphere Reserve (PBR) Virendra Nath, A. K. Asthana and Reesa Gupta V. Nath, A. K. Asthana ([email protected]) and R. Gupta, Bryology Laboratory, National Botanical Research Inst., 226 001 Lucknow, India. The family Pottiaceae is one of the dominant acrocarpous moss family of India, with approximately 26 genera and 130 species being encountered. The present work intends to take up distribution of the members of the family in the central Indian region with nearly 22 taxa being reported earlier. Achanakmar – Amarkantak Biosphere Reserve, Bhimbetka world heritage site, Gujarat, Mt. Abu and Pachmarhi Biosphere Reserve (PBR) are some important hotspots of bryophyte vegetation in central India. Among these, PBR listed under UNESCO’s Man and Biosphere (MAB) Programme is an important site of bryophyte vegetation. Mosses of PBR however have not been studied until now. Here we assess the status of family Pottiaceae in central Indian zone along with providing an illustrated account of eight species encountered from PBR. Among these, Hyophila spathulata (Harv.) Jaeg. and Oxystegus teneuirostre (Hook. et Tayl.) A.J.E. Smith are new additions to central India, while Semibarbula ranuii Gangulee and Weissia edentula Mitt. are being reported from PBR for the first time. India is well known for its floristic diversity of various plant betka world heritage site (Nath and Bansal 2009), 11 taxa groups. Indian researchers have broadly divided India into from Mt. Abu (Chaudhary and Deora 2001) and eight eight bryo-geographical regions (Singh 1997). -
Molecular Phylogeny of Chinese Thuidiaceae with Emphasis on Thuidium and Pelekium
Molecular Phylogeny of Chinese Thuidiaceae with emphasis on Thuidium and Pelekium QI-YING, CAI1, 2, BI-CAI, GUAN2, GANG, GE2, YAN-MING, FANG 1 1 College of Biology and the Environment, Nanjing Forestry University, Nanjing 210037, China. 2 College of Life Science, Nanchang University, 330031 Nanchang, China. E-mail: [email protected] Abstract We present molecular phylogenetic investigation of Thuidiaceae, especially on Thudium and Pelekium. Three chloroplast sequences (trnL-F, rps4, and atpB-rbcL) and one nuclear sequence (ITS) were analyzed. Data partitions were analyzed separately and in combination by employing MP (maximum parsimony) and Bayesian methods. The influence of data conflict in combined analyses was further explored by two methods: the incongruence length difference (ILD) test and the partition addition bootstrap alteration approach (PABA). Based on the results, ITS 1& 2 had crucial effect in phylogenetic reconstruction in this study, and more chloroplast sequences should be combinated into the analyses since their stability for reconstructing within genus of pleurocarpous mosses. We supported that Helodiaceae including Actinothuidium, Bryochenea, and Helodium still attributed to Thuidiaceae, and the monophyletic Thuidiaceae s. lat. should also include several genera (or species) from Leskeaceae such as Haplocladium and Leskea. In the Thuidiaceae, Thuidium and Pelekium were resolved as two monophyletic groups separately. The results from molecular phylogeny were supported by the crucial morphological characters in Thuidiaceae s. lat., Thuidium and Pelekium. Key words: Thuidiaceae, Thuidium, Pelekium, molecular phylogeny, cpDNA, ITS, PABA approach Introduction Pleurocarpous mosses consist of around 5000 species that are defined by the presence of lateral perichaetia along the gametophyte stems. Monophyletic pleurocarpous mosses were resolved as three orders: Ptychomniales, Hypnales, and Hookeriales (Shaw et al. -

The geographical range of the new species is restricted to the southern-temperate and southern-cool-temperate zones of Tasmania and New Zealand, with maximum occurrence on the South Island of the latter insular country. The species is described and illustrated and its distribution is mapped. The systematic position of B. seppeltii is revealed to be a sister to New Zealand B. allanfifei Bednarek-Ochyra & Ochyra by molecular evidence based on parsimony analysis of nuclear sequences. In some morphological and anatomical traits, B. seppeltii is similar to southern South American cool-temperate B. heterostichoides (Cardot) Bednarek-Ochyra & Ochyra but is distinct by its smooth laminal cells, strict hyaline leaf hair points, erect growth form, and very broadly recurved leaf margin in the distal portion.

Annals of the Wild Life Reserve The Writings of Eloise Butler Liverworts, Lichens, Mosses, and Evergreen Ferns in the Wild Garden, ca. 1914 Nature study is an all-the-year round pursuit. Several birds, among them the snow bunting and the evening grosbeak, sporting a yellow vest, are with us only in the winter. Lichens, also, are then potent to charm, when the attention is not diverted by the more spectacular features of other seasons. Some tree trunks are gardens in miniature, when encrusted by these symbionts of fungus and imprisoned alga, forming yellow patches, or ashy gray, or grayish green rosettes, pitted here and there with dark brown fruit-disks. The tamarack boughs are bearded with gray Usnea; and, when the snow melts away, ground species of Cladonia, allied to “reindeer moss.” can be seen, with tiny branches tipped with vivid red or studded with pale green goblets. Rock lichens, however, must be sought for elsewhere, as the wild garden does not provide for them either ledges or boulders. As the snow disappears, and before Mother Nature’s spinning wheels whir rapidly and her looms turn out a new carpet for the earth, a glance can be given to the mosses. A love for these tiny plants will surely awaken, if your “eyes were made for seeing,” and a keener zest will be given to your out-of-door life. They are gregarious for the most part and everywhere present - by the roadside, on damp roofs and stones, as well as in the forest. Although it is especially true of mosses that “By their fruits ye shall know them,” several genera can be readily determined by their leaves. -
