The Orthotrichaceae are a family of mosses (Bryophyta) and alone form the order Orthotrichales .
features
The representatives of this moss family grow in the shape of a cushion or lawn and are found almost all over the world on earth, rock and bark. The mosses, which belong to this family, form creeping to upright stems which, when dry, often have curled, close-fitting or keeled leaves that are tongue-shaped and usually with entire margins. The leaf vein extends to the leaf tip. The lamina cells are rounded in the upper part of the leaf and more or less elongated at the base of the leaf and often transparent. The sporogons are apparently laterally due to the summit of side branches. The peristome, which is rarely missing, is usually doubled. A vegetative reproduction by brood bodies is not uncommon.
