Campylopus (German Krummstielmoose ) is a genus of deciduous moss from the family Leucobryaceae .
features
Campylopus species are very different in shape, the plants are usually moderately large to very strong, about 3 to 10 centimeters or sometimes even larger. The leaves are drawn out from a lanceolate base into a long awl tip; the rib, which is always very broad, usually completely fills the awl and emerges more or less long. The structure of the rib in cross section is three-layered with stereids or hyalocytes below and / or above the median deuter cells. Leaf-wing cells are often differentiated.
The species are diocesan . The seta is initially curved like a swan neck, later upright and 5 to 10 millimeters long, the spore capsule is elliptical and upright to curved, the lid is conical and beaked, the kalyptra is cap-shaped. In addition to reproduction with spores, there is vegetative reproduction with leaves, leaf tips, breaking off shoots, buds and rhizoid gems.
The mosses avoid lime and are cosmopolitan with a focus on the tropics.
