  2. Moss - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moss

    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.

  3. Protonema - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Protonema

    The transition from chloronema to caulonema cells along a filament is gradual. [4] Later in the development of the plant, caulonema cells can form new branches of chloronema cell type, called secondary chloronema. [3] The protonema cells grow apically, meaning that the growth of the filament happens by the division of the cells at the tip of ...

  4. Bryum - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bryum

    Bryum species generally have shorter laminal cells with short, thick, and rounded stems. [3] All Bryum species exhibit narrowed cells at the margins. Bryum species can be identified through patterns of asexual reproduction , coloration features of the stem and leaf base, and the strength of the leaf border.

  5. Bryum argenteum - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bryum_argenteum

    Bryum argenteum, the silvergreen bryum moss or silvery thread moss, [1] is a species of moss in the family Bryaceae. It is one of the most common mosses of urban areas and can be easily recognized without a microscope.

  6. Tortula muralis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tortula_muralis

    The costa are long, sometimes excurrent, and lack an adaxial pad of cells. They are narrow distally, with hexagonal distal laminal cells measuring 10-15 μm wide. These cells bear many papillae. The moss is autoicous, and its sporophytes are exerted. Its seta measure 0.6–1.5 cm (0.24–0.59 in). Its erect and cylindrical capsules are ...

  7. Polytrichum commune - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polytrichum_commune

    Polytrichum commune (also known as common haircap, [2] great golden maidenhair, [2] great goldilocks, [2] common haircap moss, or common hair moss) is a species of moss found in many regions with high humidity and rainfall. The species can be exceptionally tall for a moss with stems often exceeding 30 cm (12 in) and rarely reaching 70 cm (27.5 ...

  8. Leptoid - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leptoid

    A leptoid is a type of elongated food-conducting cell like phloem in the stems of some mosses, such as the family Polytrichaceae. [1] They surround strands of water-conducting hydroids. They have some structural and developmental similarities to the sieve elements of seedless vascular plants. At maturity they have inclined end cell walls with ...

  9. Syntrichia latifolia - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Syntrichia_latifolia

    Syntrichia latifolia, formerly Tortula latifolia, and commonly known as water screw-moss, [2] is a species of moss belonging to the family Pottiaceae. [3] Syntrichia species differ from members of Tortula due to synapomorphic leaf qualities, such as different basal and distal cells, as well as different costal cross sections where Tortula has an abaxial epidermis and Syntrichia lacks one.
