The Dicranidae are a subclass of the moss (Bryophyta).

features

The protonema of the Dicranidae is usually short-lived. The moss plants are from very small to large. The lamina cells are mostly parenchymatic . The ribs are of the Dicranum or Pottia type . The cells are either divided into hyalocytes and chlorocytes (leucobryoid) or uniform. The peristome is from Dicranum type (haplolepid), with 16 complete or more often divided Peristomzellen.

The most common chromosome numbers are n = 12 to 14.

Systematics

The Dicranidae are a morphologically and ecologically diverse group. To the extent shown here, they are a monophyletic group. The relationships between the individual groups are still insufficiently clarified.

The orders and families belonging to the subclass are:
