Pottiales
Pottiales is an order of mosses in the subclass Dicranidae. Classification The following families are recognised in ''Bryophyte Biology'': *Pottiaceae *Pleurophascaceae *Serpotortellaceae *Mitteniaceae Some other families are recognised by other sources: * Ephemeraceae – this putative family is characterized by highly simplified vegetative and sporogenous bodies and contains two genera, Ephemerum and ''Micromitrium''. However, phylogenetic analysis finds it polyphyletic, with ''Ephemerum'' nested in Pottiaceae and ''Micromitrium'' recovered among the Dicranales, closely related to the Leucobryaceae, and assigned a new family, Micromitriaceae. *Hypodontiaceae – family containing the genus ''Hypodontium''. Alternatively placed in Dicranales Dicranales is an order of haplolepideous mosses in the subclass Dicranidae The Dicranidae are a widespread and diverse subclass of mosses in class Bryopsida, with many species of dry or disturbed areas. They are dist ... [...More Info...]       [...Related Items...]     OR:     [Wikipedia]   [Google]   [Baidu]   |

Genus
Genus ( plural genera ) is a taxonomic rank used in the biological classification of living and fossil organisms as well as viruses. In the hierarchy of biological classification, genus comes above species and below family. In binomial nomenclature, the genus name forms the first part of the binomial species name for each species within the genus. :E.g. '' Panthera leo'' (lion) and '' Panthera onca'' (jaguar) are two species within the genus ''Panthera''. ''Panthera'' is a genus within the family Felidae. The composition of a genus is determined by taxonomists. The standards for genus classification are not strictly codified, so different authorities often produce different classifications for genera. There are some general practices used, however, including the idea that a newly defined genus should fulfill these three criteria to be descriptively useful: # monophyly – all descendants of an ancestral taxon are grouped together (i.e. phylogenetic analysis should c ...
