Bryophytes, in the broad sense, including hornworts, liverworts and mosses, are the second largest plant phylum after the angiosperms. They represent the oldest lineages among extant land plants, and inhabit every continent. They are small green creatures that differ from more highly developed plants in lack or weak development of a vascular system. Bryophytes have no flowers, and reproduce themselves by spores. Their life cycle is heteromorphic, consisting of two stages, the free-living gametophyte, and the sporophyte that is comparatively short-lived and nutritionally dependent on gametophyte. The gametophyte of hornworts is a flattened thallus bearing multiple sporophytes shaped like prominent elongated cylinders, or horns. Liverworts are often found as shiny, bright green plants, growing prostrate on their substrates. They produce spores in capsules that break into four flaps. Liverworts represent different types of growth forms, a leafy shoot system or thalloid organization. Among the bryophytes, mosses are the most diverse group, comprising approximately 18.000 or more species. All of them have leafy stems that can be erect, creeping or pendant, varying from 1 mm long in mature plant to over 1 m. Mosses have been further divided into three (sub)classes: Sphagnidae, Andreaeidae and Bryidae. links of interests - Bryological Glossary The papar version "Glossarium Polyglottum Bryologiae" by Magill R. E. (ed.), a multilingual glossary for bryology is a good to have in any bryological library. It includes English, French, German Japanese, Latin, Russian and Spanish bryological terms. Also availabe eletronicaly: in English visit > and in Spanish visit > - Bryophyte Names Authority List The lists contain names of bryophytes interpreted as effectively and validly published according to the International Code of Botanical Nomenclature. Nomena nuda and illegitimate names, for example, are not included in the lists. visit > - A Checklist of World Mosses The checklist was initiated to answer questions like how many species of moss are there in the world and how many of the 47,600 validly published names are recognized in the literature today? The list currently recognizes 12,754 species. It contains over 1800 bibliographic references. visit > - Index of mosses Database (W3MOST) The Index of Mosses database, also known as W3MOST, provides current information on bryophyte names from the TROPICOS MOST database compiled by the The Index of Mosses project. visit > - World Red List of Bryophytes 2000 visit > - On bryophytes 1 visit > - On bryophytes 2 visit > - Bryoplanet visit > - Many links to bryological sites visit > - Bryology visit > - Bryology 321 course website visit > - Journal of Bryology visit > - Lindbergia visit > - Bryologist visit > - Nova Hedwigia - Cryptogamie Bryologie - Arctoa visit > - Herzogia visit > - El Boletín de la Sociedad Española de Briología visit > - Tropical Bryology visit > - The Journal of the Hattori Botanical Laboratory visit > - Hikobia visit > - Meylania visit > - Australasian Bryological Newsletter visit > - Briolatina visit > - Limprichtia visit > - Advances in Bryology visit > - Bryologische Rundbriefe visit > - Bulletin of Bryology visit > - Evansia visit > - Bryological Times visit > - Field Bryology visit > - Nova Hedwigia visit > - Meylania visit > - Bryobrothera visit > - Buxbaumiella visit > - Myrinia visit > - Bryonora visit > - Bryological Research visit > - Muscillanea visit > - Tropical Bryology visit > - Archive for Bryology visit > - Images 01 visit > - Images 02 visit > - Images 03 visit > - Images 04 visit > - Images 05 visit > - Images 06 visit > - Images 07 visit > - Images 08 visit > - Images 09 visit > - Images 10 visit > - North American herbaria visit > - The New York Botanical Garden visit > - Real Jardin Botanico de Madrid, Herbario de Criptogamia visit > - Swedish Museum of Natural History, Dept.

Works for a better understanding of bryophytes and our vision is that bryophytes will be part of the public consciousness and that they and their habitats will be enjoyed and appreciated by all future generations. visit > Working to save the world's most endangered mosses, liverworts and hornworts. One of the primary missions of the Bryophyte Specialist Group (BSG) is to establish liaisons with people working in countries where endangered bryophytes occur. Currently, we have members in Asia, Australia, Europe, North, Latin America and North America. visit > ......................................................... end back to top |
