Phylum Bryophyta -- mosses or "true mosses" Bryophyta, along with Hepatophyta and Anthocerotophyta are sometimes jointly called "bryophytes" since earlier classification systems placed them in a single phylum. All three of these phyla are said to have the gametophyte generation as the "dominant" generation. In central Texas, true mosses are very often found in a wide
variety of habitats, including soil, rocks and trees. Genus Polytrichum |
