Calomnion Complanatum
''Calomnion complanatum'' is a species of moss native to Australia (New South Wales, Victoria, Tasmania) and New Zealand. It is the type species of the genus ''Calomnion,'' growing on the trunks of tree ferns Tree ferns are arborescent (tree-like) ferns that grow with a trunk elevating the fronds above ground level, making them trees. Many extant tree ferns are members of the order Cyatheales, to which belong the families Cyatheaceae (scaly tree fern .... It is a small, yellow-green plant rarely more than 10 mm tall. Within New South Wales, ''Calomnion complanatum'' is an endangered species reported from only 4 populations, all in New South Wales: Cambewarra Mountain, Rocky Creek Canyon on the Newnes Plateau, and two sites on Mount Wilson (Zircon Creek and Waterfall Reserve). It is listed as endangered in Victoria but rare and not endangered in Tasmania or New Zealand.Meagher D (1999) ''Calomnion complanatum'': an endangered moss found in Victoria.

Calomnion Milleri
''Calomnion milleri'' is a species of moss known only from Lord Howe Island in the Tasman Sea between Australia and New Zealand. It grows on the aerial adventitious roots of tree-ferns at elevations of 450–875 m. ''Calomnion milleri'' is a small, dioecious, yellow-green plant rarely more than 10 mm tall. It has two types of leaves, both subulate (with a long, narrow tip). Setae are 0.8–1.0 mm long; cylindrical capsules 1.2–1.4 mm long. It is distinguished from other species in the genus by its thickened leaf margins, its capsules shorter than the setae In biology, setae (; seta ; ) are any of a number of different bristle- or hair-like structures on living organisms. Animal setae Protostomes Depending partly on their form and function, protostome setae may be called macrotrichia, chaetae ..., and the long, slender subulate leaves.Vitt, D. H. 1995.
