Biology:Flatbergiaceae

From HandWiki

Flatbergiaceae is a family of mosses in the order Sphagnales with a single extant genus, Flatbergium.[1]

In addition, an extinct genus, Dollyphyton, based on a fossil from the Middle Ordovician, has been proposed to belong to this family,.[2] However, the interpretation of such fossils as putative plants has been questioned.[3][4]
