In
Tasmania, Rhizogonium is represented by 3 species.
Some species previously under the genus has been transfered to the
genus Pyrrhobryum. These
are usually turf or tail-like mosses on logs in wet forest. The
leaves are arranged in a single plane and the capsules arise from
the base of the plant.
R. distichum is a stout looking moss which has toothed
leaves and the nerve ends before the leaf apex. In R. novae-hollandiae,
the leaf nerve extends shortly beyond the leaf apex. In R.
pennatum, the leaves have long hairpoints. |
