Sphagnum rubellum, the red bog moss, is a species of sphagnum moss in the family Sphagnaceae. It forms low, reddish cushions in wet areas like bogs and poor fens across North America and Eurasia, particularly in regions with oceanic climates. The species can vary in colour from green to pink or deep crimson, and grows up to 10 cm (3.9 in) tall. Like other peat mosses, it plays an important role in forming and maintaining peatlands. This species is closely related to S. capillifolium, with which it was historically confused, though genetic studies have confirmed them as distinct species. While

Sphagnum fimbriatum, the fringed bogmoss, is a peat moss found in temperate regions worldwide, from the Arctic to New Zealand and along the Andes. William Wilson formally described the species in 1846. Plants measure up to 10 cm (4 in) tall, varying from slender to moderately robust forms. It forms loose carpets or soft mounds in wetlands and is identified by its stem leaves with fringed upper margins. The stem leaves distinguish it from other Sphagnum species, including its close relative S. girgensohnii which has rectangular stem leaves fringed only at the tip. The species grows in various

Leptobryum pyriforme is a species of moss belonging to the family Bryaceae. It has a cosmopolitan distribution. Leptobryum pyriforme is known for its ability to utilize artificial light to grow in environments that are otherwise devoid of natural light, such as Crystal Cave in Wisconsin.

Leptobryum is a genus of mosses belonging to the family Bryaceae. The genus has cosmopolitan distribution. Species: Leptobryum acutum (Hedw.) Gugelb. Leptobryum patagonicum Broth. Leptobryum pyriforme (Hedw.) Wilson

Orthotrichum crassifolium is a species of moss in the family Orthotrichaceae. It is sometimes placed in the genus Muelleriella. It has a wide circumpolar distribution on subantarctic islands through the Southern Ocean, as well as the extreme south of South America and the northern end of the Antarctic Peninsula. It is tolerant of saline conditions and often occupies the supralittoral zone along rocky coastlines affected by sea spray.

Noteroclada confluens is a species of liverwort belonging to the family Noterocladaceae. It is characterised by grass-green shoots bearing rounded leaves and distinctive underground tubers that come in two geographical forms. The species is primarily found in Latin America, with two main centres of distribution: along the Andes Mountains from Mexico to Tierra del Fuego, and in the coastal mountains of southeastern Brazil, with additional disjunct populations on several South Atlantic islands. It typically grows in moist montane environments, forming dense mats along stream banks, lake edges

Zygodon gracilis, the slender yokemoss, is a moss species in the family Orthotrichaceae. It is a rare lithophyte found to only grow on certain localities of limestone outcrops that has high calcium carbonate content. The current global conservation status of Z. gracilis is considered to be "imperiled".

Noteroclada is a small genus of liverworts of the Southern Hemisphere. It is classified in order Pelliales and is the only genus in the family Noterocladaceae within that order. Unlike Pellia, the other genus in the order, Noteroclada has a leafy appearance. The species Noteroclada confluens is known primarily from the southern regions of South America, although it has been reported as far north as Costa Rica, and there is a report from New Zealand. A possible second species is known from South Africa.

Campylopus setifolius, known as the silky swan-neck moss, is a species of moss in the family Leucobryaceae. The species is only found in the United Kingdom and Ireland. Campylopus setifolius is restricted to the hyper-oceanic zone of Britain and Ireland, preferring north-facing slopes where Calluna vulgaris is a near constant associate. It can also be found on rock ledges and ravines.

Campylopus bicolor is a species of moss found in Australia, New Zealand, and South Africa. It is characterised by blackish colouration, leaves with distinctive hood-like tips, and a broad central strand occupying up to four-fifths of the leaf width. The species plays an important role in rock colonisation, forming moss "aprons" or mats that can store significant moisture and provide microhabitats for other plants. Two varieties are recognised: the typical form (var. bicolor) with hood-like leaf tips, and the rarer var. ericeticola with hair-like points. In Australia, it is found across
