Hypnales is the botanical name of an order of Bryophyta or leafy mosses.This group is sometimes called feather mosses, referring to their freely branched stems. [1] The order includes more than 40 families and more than 4,000 species, making them the largest order of mosses.
Plagiomnium venustum, also known as magnificent leafy moss, is a species of moss belonging to the family Mniaceae. [2] It is found mainly in western North America along the coastal region. [ 3 ] This moss can be identified from other members of the Plagiomnium genus by dark coloured stomata guide cells and the absence of sterile stems. [ 2 ]
Rhizomnium is a genus of mosses in the family Mniaceae [1] commonly referred to as leafy mosses. [2] They grow nearly worldwide, mostly in the northern hemisphere. [ 1 ]
Chloroplasts (green discs) and accumulated starch granules in cells of Bryum capillare. Botanically, mosses are non-vascular plants in the land plant division Bryophyta. They are usually small (a few centimeters tall) herbaceous (non-woody) plants that absorb water and nutrients mainly through their leaves and harvest carbon dioxide and sunlight to create food by photosynthesis.
Tetraphis pellucida occurs almost exclusively on rotten stumps and logs, [3] and is native to the northern hemisphere. [4] The leafy shoot is between eight and 15 mm tall. The lower leaves are 1 to 2 mm long, whereas the upper and perichaetial leaves – leaves that surround the archegonia – are 3 mm l
Archaeologists in Virginia are uncovering one of colonial America's most lavish displays of opulence: An ornamental garden where a wealthy politician and enslaved gardeners grew exotic plants from ...
The adult stage is represented by leafy gametophore which is differentiated into rhizoids, axis and leaves. Rhizoids arise from the base of the axis and they are slender, branched, obliquely septate and provides anchorage for the bryophyte. The axis is a stem-like structure arising from the rhizoid, long, slender, monopodially branched.
Leafy species can be distinguished from the apparently similar mosses on the basis of a number of features, including their single-celled rhizoids. Leafy liverworts also differ from most (but not all) mosses in that their leaves never have a costa (present in many mosses) and may bear marginal cilia (very rare in mosses). Other differences are ...
