Lembophyllaceae

Lembophyllaceae is a family of pleurocarpous mosses in the order Hypnales. It was originally described by Finnish botanist Viktor Ferdinand Brotherus (1849–1929) in 1909. The family is mainly found in Australasia and southern South America.[1]

Taxonomy

Lembophyllaceae is closely related to the family Neckeraceae.[1] Members of Lembophyllaceae are differentiated from Neckeraceae by their typically terete shoots (vs. mostly complanate), the leaves being mostly often loosely appressed, and frequently well-developed peristomes (vs. reduced or 'neckeroid' periostomes).[1] Genera include:[1][2]

  • Antitrichia Bridel-Brederi - western North America
  • Bestia Broth. – western North America
  • Camptochaete Reichardt – Australasia
  • Dolichomitra (Lindberg) Broth. – Southeast Asia
  • Dolichomitriopsis S.Okamura – Southeast Asia
  • Fallaciella H. A. Crum – Australasia, southern South America
  • Fifea H. A. Crum – Australasia
  • Isothecium Brid. – widespread in the northern hemisphere (e.g. Isothecium myosuroides)
  • Lembophyllum Lindb. – Australasia, southern South America
  • Looseria (Thér.) D. Quandt, S.Huttunen, Tangney, & Stech – southern South America
  • Neobarbella Nog. – Southeast Asia
  • Pilotrichella (Müll. Hal.) Besch. – Hawaii, tropical Americas, Africa, Madagascar
  • Rigodium Kunze ex Schwägr. – Central and South America, East Africa, Madagascar
  • Tripterocladium (Müll. Hal.) A. Jaeger – western North America
  • Weymouthia Broth. – Australasia, southern South America
gollark: I think it has separate namespaces for maps/scalars or something weird like that.
gollark: Oh, why not borrow from perl too?
gollark: Instead of dictionaries/hashmaps make a wrapper around linked lists.
gollark: Make all strings be represented as trees in some horrible way regardless of length.
gollark: You should also steal syntax from a combination of lisp, PHP, Pascal, and Go.
