3-330.00.00: BryanaeSynonym:
Bryophyta;
Musci.
Name: the name
Bryophyta is confusing as it is used for both all mosses and the real mosses. That is the reason to adopt the name
Bryanae for this clade. The class is a class, with are giving the ending -anae. The ending for phyla is -phyta.
Clades: Bryopohyta;
Plants.
TaxonomyIn most classifications
Bryanae, mostly named
Bryophyta, is a Class in the Phylum Bryopohyta. It is divided in 8 Subclasses: Andreaeobryopsida, Andreaeopsida, Bryopsida, Oedipodiopsida, Polytrichopsida, Sphagnopsida, Takakiopsida, Tetraphidopsida. Seven of them have hardly any genera, most of them only 1.
The main Subclass is Bryopsida with 6 Subclasses. Three of them consist of 1 genus, one has 40 genera and then there are two main subclasses
Dicranidae and
Bryidae.

Funariidae
DicranidaeBryidaeIn the
Plant theory the above classification does not work. The imbalance in extension of the several clades is enormous.
There should be 3 Subclasses, fitting the series.
1
Hydrogen series:
Takakiidae, with 1 genus Takakia
2.
Carbon series:
Dicranidae3.
Silicon series:
BryidaeTakakiopsida ias the first clade is placed in the hydrogen series Subclass, provionary as there is no information about Takakia.
The small primary clades in the classification are fused in the first order in
Dicranidae, the
Funariales.
BotanyDown-growing mosses are pleurocarp, as the sporophytes grow at small sides. If the sporophytes grow on the sprout tip, then the acrocarp is called.
Pleurokarp and akrokarp are the two large groups in the Laubmoosen; leaves with 1 tip.
