Bryum
''Bryum'' is a genus of mosses in the family Bryaceae. It was considered the largest genus of mosses, in terms of the number of species (over 1000), until it was split into three separate genera in a 2005 publication. As of 2013, the classification of both ''Bryum'' and the family Bryaceae to which it belongs underwent significant changes based on DNA studies.Genus ''Bryum'', California Moss eFlora, Jepson eFlora for CA Vascular Plants, University Herbarium, University of California/ref> Description ''Bryum'' is a polyphyletic genus that has high morphological variation. Bryum species generally have shorter laminal cells with short, thick, and rounded stems. 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. History The genus was described by Johann Hedwig Johann Hedwig (8 December 1730 – 18 February 1799), a ...

Gemmabryum
''Gemmabryum'' is a genus of moss in the family Bryaceae. It was separated from the genera ''Bryum'' and '' Brachymenium'' in 2005. It has been argued that the correct name for the genus is ''Osculatia''. Taxonomy The genus ''Gemmabryum'' was first described by J. R. Spence and H. P. Ramsay in 2005. Species previously placed in three sections of the genus ''Bryum'' and one section of the genus '' Brachymenium'' were transferred to the new genus, which is accepted by the World Flora Online World Flora Online is an Internet-based compendium of the world's plant species. Description The World Flora Online (WFO) is an open-access database, launched in October 2012 as a follow-up project to The Plant List, with the aim of publishi ... database . Other sources retain the genus ''Bryum''. In 2018, it was argued that the genus name ''Osculatia'' De Not. had priority for this segregate of ''Bryum'' and ''Brachymenium''.

Rhodobryum Roseum
''Rhodobryum roseum'', commonly known as rose moss, is a species of moss of the subclass Bryidae and family Bryaceae, found throughout most of the world in woods or sheltered grassy places. It rarely forms sporophytes and spore cases, and primarily reproduces vegetatively by stolons, horizontal stems that root at the nodes, resulting in populations of plants that are sterile or only female. Description This species forms characteristic rosettes of leaves at the ends of secondary stems, which in turn grow from a wiry, creeping primary stem. The rosette of some 18-22 leaves somewhat resembles a small green rose. The leaf margins are revolute and finely toothed towards the leaf tip, which ends in a short mucronate point. The leaf midrib is prominent. Leaves growing on the primary stem are small and scale-like, while the basal leaves on the secondary stems are also very small. It occurs in short grassland in open woodland, occasionally in forests, heaths, sand dunes and chalk grasslan ...

Anomobryum Julaceum
''Anomobryum julaceum'', the slender silver-moss, is a species of bryophyte native to all continents except South America and Antarctica. ''A. julaceum'' is found widespread in the temperate regions of the Northern and Southern Hemispheres. Its capsules mature beginning in late fall and through the spring. It is most commonly found in wet crevices and on sandstone cliffs. Additional micro-habitats include tussock tundra with seeps and late snow melt areas and on granitic outcrops. In eastern North America it appears to be restricted to acid habitats, in the wet crevices of sandstone cliffs or other seepy niches. Overall, ''A. julaceum'' resembles species of the genus ''Pohlia'', and its leaves are similar to those of ''Bryum argenteum''; it can only be separated from ''Pohlia'' and ''Bryum'' using a microscope. ''Anomobryum julaceum'' can be distinguished from ''Bryum argenteum'' by its strongly julaceous, shiny leaves. Taxonomic history A number of names have been used for thi ...
