New Zealand is noted for its variety of dendroid mosses, including the picturesque "umbrella mosses". *Climacium is included in this acrocarpous grouping only because it is so obviously a separate, upright plant and seldom has sporophytes to establish its true identity in this respect. When it does have sporophytes, they emanate from along its branches; therefore, it properly belongs with the pleurocarpous mosses. See Growth Form Plate #9. |
