Warnstorfia (German Moorsichelmoose ) is a genus of deciduous mosses in the order Hypnales . The genus is named after Carl Warnstorf (1837-1921), a German educator, florist and bryologist.
features
The mosses grow in wet locations in bogs or swamps, sometimes also in water. They are more or less strong plants with straight or sickle-shaped curved and often long, pointed leaves. The leaf cells are linear, the leaf wing cells square to elongated rectangular and inflated.
The species are autocratic (antheridia and archegonia on different branches on the same plant).
Systematics
The systematic position of individual species and the delimitation of the genus is difficult and controversial. In the past, a number of species were assigned to the genus Drepanocladus .
According to Frey / Fischer / Stech, the genus Warnstorfia includes five species that are autocratic. Diocesan species are placed in the genus Sarmentypnum ; this is also supported by molecular data and different habitat preferences. However, this division or separation is currently rarely carried out by various florists.
Of the five Warnstorfia species (according to Frey / Fischer / Stech) occur in Germany, Austria and Switzerland:
Other species occurring in the countries mentioned, which were separated out to the genus Sarmentypnum according to Frey / Fischer / Stech , but are usually named with the genus name Warnstorfia , are:
- Sarmentypnum exannulatum ( Warnstorfia exannulata )
- Sarmentypnum sarmentosum ( Warnstorfia sarmentosa )
- Sarmentypnum trichophyllum ( Warnstorfia trichophylla )
