Bartramiaceae

Philonotis rigida, from here.


Belongs within: Bryidae.
Contains: Philonotis subgenus Eu-Philonotis.

The Bartramiaceae are a family of mosses found worldwide, with the highest diversity in tropical montane regions. Members of the Bartramiaceae have globose capsules (giving the family the common name of 'apple mosses') and a dense, often reddish tomentum on the stems (Virtanen 2000). The capsules are bright green when young, becoming brown when ripe (Dixon 1924).

Characters (from Smith & Smith 2004): Dioicous, autoicous or synoicous. Usually tufted plants; tomentose, with central strand. Leaves erect to more or less spreading when moist, ovate-lanceolate to linear-lanceolate, often with expanded basal part, shortly to longly acuminate; margins plane or recurved, denticulate to serrate above; costa ending below apex to excurrent; cells more or less hexagonal to elongate, mamillose. Setae long, usually straight; capsules erect or inclined, globose; symmetrical or not with mouth often oblique, smooth when ripe, usually longitudinally furrowed when dry and empty; lid conical, sometimes shortly beaked; peristome double, rarely single, rudimentary or absent, exostome longer than endostome, processes bifid, cilia rudimentary or absent; calyptrae minute, cucullate.
