Pottiales
Pottiales is an order (biology), 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 (moss genus), 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 *Splachnobryaceae – containing the genera ''Splachnobryum'' and ''Koponobryum'' *Bryobartramiaceae – family containing a single genus with one species, ''Bryobartrami ...

Dicranidae
The Dicranidae are a widespread and diverse subclass of mosses in class Bryopsida, with many species of dry or disturbed areas. They are distinguished by their spores; the peristome teeth are haplolepideous with a 4:2:3 formula, and an exostome is absent. Systematics Traditionally, the Dricanidae comprised about six to eight orders. However, phylogenetic analysis using molecular markers suggested that Dicranales was paraphyletic with respect to Pottiales Pottiales is an order (biology), order of mosses in the subclass Dicranidae. Classification The following families are recognised in ''Bryophyte Biology'': *Pottiaceae *Pleurophascaceae *Serpotortellaceae *Mitteniaceae Some other families .... A recently phylogenomic analysis led to a break-up of Dicranales and creation of a number of new small orders. The phylogenetic relationships recovered within Dicranidae are shown in the cladogram below. The orders Bryoxiphiales, Pseudoditrichales and Mitteniales were not ...
