Antitrichia (German hanging moss ) is a genus of deciduous mosses .
features
They are large, thick and loose lawn-forming moss plants with elongated, often pendulous secondary stems that are irregularly branched. A central strand in the trunk cross-section is missing or only indicated. The concave leaves are broadly ovate to ovate-lanceolate, pointed to pointed and toothed at the tip. The lamina cells are elongated, smooth, and more or less spotted. In the leaf wings there are round-square to elliptical cells. In addition to the simple leaf vein, which ends in the upper half of the leaf, there are often a few short secondary ribs on the leaf base.
Antitrichia species are dioecious . On the elongated, smooth seta there is a straight or slightly curved, oblong-ovoid to oblong-cylindrical capsule. The capsule neck has stomata.
Systematics
The genus Antitrichia is the only genus of the family Antitrichiaceae within the order Hypnales . It used to belong to the Leucodontaceae family , but was separated from the family based on molecular data .
There are 3 species worldwide that are distributed in the northern and southern hemispheres and usually grow epiphytically . There are two types in Europe:
- Antitrichia californica Sull.
- Antitrichia curtipendula (Hedw.) Brid.
Of these, Austria and Switzerland, in Germany, only Antitrichia curtipendula (German names are hanging barbed moss , short Hanging Hanging Moss ) represented.
