EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning chromolithograph by Adolf Glitsch, based on an illustration by Ernst Haeckel, showcases a diverse array of Bryophyta mosses. Bryophytes, also known as non-vascular plants, are a large and diverse group of organisms that include mosses, liverworts, and hornworts. This print features 16 different species of mosses, each with unique characteristics that make them distinct from one another. The mosses depicted in this print include Thamnobryum alopecurum (1), Eurhynchium pumilum (2), Polytrichum commune (3), Sphagnum palustre (4), Splachnum luteum (5), Hypnum ligulatum (6), Rhodobryum roseum (7), Physcomitrium eurystomum (8), Physcomitrium ericetorum (9), Physcomitrium sphaericum (10), Sphagnum magellanicum (11), Andreaea obovata (12), Hypnum crista-castrensis (13), Tetraplodon urceolatus (14), Tayloria hornschuchii (15), and Tayloria froelichiana (16). Each moss species in this print displays intricate details and vibrant colors, showcasing their unique morphology and beauty. Thamnobryum alopecurum, for example, is characterized by its long, slender stems and small, round leaves. Eurhynchium pumilum, on the other hand, has tiny, cylindrical capsules that sit atop short, branched stems. Sphagnum mosses, such as Sphagnum palustre and Sphagnum magellanicum, are well-known for their ability to absorb large amounts of water and form peat bogs. Hypnum crista-castrensis, also known as the castle-crested moss, is easily recognizable by its distinctive crested capsules. This beautiful and intricate print is a testament to the diversity and complexity of the Bryophyta mosses, and serves as a reminder of the importance of preserving these delicate organisms and their habitats.
