Bruchiaceae
Bruchiaceae is a family of haplolepideous mosses ( Dicranidae) in the order Dicranales. They have the greatest occurrence in temperate regions. They are mosses with long-necked, cleistocarpous (having the capsule opening irregularly without an operculum) capsules and mitrate calyptras. History Viktor Ferdinand Brotherus (in 1909) included ''Bruchia'' and ''Trematodon'' in the family Dicranaceae (part of subfamily ''Trematodontoideae''). Nathaniel Lord Britton (in 1913) placed these two genera together with ''Pringleella'' in the family ''Bruchiaceae''. Dale Hadley Vitt (in 1984) included ''Bruchia'', ''Eobruchia'' and ''Trematodon'' in the family Dicranaceae, but ''Pringleella'' and '' Wilsoniella'' were in the ''Ditrichacea'' family. Spore studies have been carried in order to establish phylogenetic relationships (Blackmore & Barnes 1987). In 1979, it had 4 genera; ''Bruchia'', ''Pringleella'', ''Eobruchia'', and ''Trematodon''. Genera within the family include: * '' Bruchia' ...
