Leucobryaceae

Leucobryaceae is a family of haplolepideous mosses (Dicranidae) in the order Dicranales.[1][2]

Leucobryaceae
Leucobryum glaucum
Scientific classification
Kingdom: Plantae
Division: Bryophyta
Class: Bryopsida
Subclass: Dicranidae
Order: Dicranales
Family: Leucobryaceae
Schimp.

Description

Members of the family grow small to large cushions. Species are characterized by having thick, whitish leaves with a large, expanded costa.[3] It has been suggested that the characteristic pale color exhibited by some species is caused by air bubbles in the leucocysts, and the presence of air in the leaf is assumed characteristic of the Leucobryaceae.[4]

Classification

The Leucobryaceae have been sometimes included in the Dicranaceae because of similar costa and peristome structures.[3]

The number of genera assigned to the family has been subject to much debate and has ranged from one to fourteen.[3][5] Some genera previous assigned to Leucobryaceae have been split off into the family Calymperaceae, while molecular analyses have led to other changes, with other genera from Dicranaceae included.[5]

The family currently includes twelve genera:[1][2]

  • Atractylocarpus Mitt.
  • Brothera Müll. Hal.
  • Bryohumbertia P. de la Varde & Thér.
  • Campylopodiella Cardot
  • Campylopus Brid.
  • Cladopodanthus Dozy & Molk.
  • Dicranodontium Bruch & Schimp.
  • Leucobryum Hampe
  • Microcampylopus (Müll. Hal.) Fleisch.
  • Ochrobryum Mitt.
  • Pilopogon Brid.
  • Schistomitrium Dozy & Molk.
gollark: I really don't see why `in` and `is` need to be dedicated keywords.
gollark: ``` and as assert async[note 1] await[note 1] break class continue def del elif else except exec[note 2] False[note 3] finally for from global if import in is lambda None nonlocal[note 3] not or pass print[note 2] raise return True[note 3] try while with yield```Oh, and I found this list of keywords here.
gollark: To someone who just wants to parse XML, that makes absolutely no sense.
gollark: ```Structured Markup Processing Tools html — HyperText Markup Language support html.parser — Simple HTML and XHTML parser html.entities — Definitions of HTML general entities XML Processing Modules xml.etree.ElementTree — The ElementTree XML API xml.dom — The Document Object Model API xml.dom.minidom — Minimal DOM implementation xml.dom.pulldom — Support for building partial DOM trees xml.sax — Support for SAX2 parsers xml.sax.handler — Base classes for SAX handlers xml.sax.saxutils — SAX Utilities xml.sax.xmlreader — Interface for XML parsers xml.parsers.expat — Fast XML parsing using Expat```
gollark: Well, it would work in JS, I think, since you can declare a variable and that's separate from assigning to it.
