Brachytheciaceae

Genera 53 Accepted species 576 Documented here 51 Coverage 9%

We document 51 of the 576 accepted species in Brachytheciaceae. The rest are listed, with their authorities and their identifiers, inside their genus. They have no page of their own because we could not find three openly licensed photographs of them, and a page without evidence is not a page we are willing to publish.
