Family: Grimmiaceae
| Scientific Name | Common Name | Summary |
|---|---|---|
| Bucklandiella affinis | Recent segregate of Bucklandiella heterosticha | |
| Bucklandiella brevipes | ||
| Bucklandiella heterosticha | ||
| Bucklandiella lawtoniae | ||
| Bucklandiella sudetica | ||
| Codriophorus acicularis | Green to blackish moss found on wet rocks and boulders near and in streams. The blunt tipped leaves with toothed upper margins and erect capsules help distinguish this moss from Scouleria aquatica, a species similar in appearance and habitat. | |
| Codriophorus fascicularis | Habitat of photo differs from that given by Worley. Consider also C. varius | |
| Codriophorus mollis | ||
| Codriophorus ryszardii | ||
| Codriophorus varius | ||
| Coscinodon yukonensis | ||
| Grimmia anodon | Widespread and common in western North American. Reported from Alaska, but so far not from Southeast. Per BFNA, found on exposed calcareous sandstone, limestone, and concrete. | |
| Grimmia anomala | ||
| Grimmia attenuata | ||
| Grimmia donniana | So far not found in Southeast Alaska. Could possibly occur and should be looked for on acidic granite and sandstone. | |
| Grimmia leibergii | The find at Red Bluff Bay was a significant extension of the known range. Favors dry acidic boulders. | |
| Grimmia longirostris | Not known from Southeast Alaska. Favors exposed dry acidic granite and quartzite. Seems most likely to occur in the drier areas of the northern end of Southeast Alaska. | |
| Grimmia mollis | Not known from Alaska, but found in British Columbia. Favors wet acidic rocks in alpine habitats. | |
| Grimmia muehlenbeckii | Prefers shaded acidic rock, often near lakes. Known from Washington. It's occurrence in Southeast would appear to be a significant extension of the known range in North America. | |
| Grimmia ovalis | ||
| Grimmia ramondii | ||
| Grimmia sessitana | Not currently known from Southeast Alaska. Most likely to occur on moist acidic granite in the alpine. | |
| Grimmia torquata | ||
| Grimmia trichophylla | ||
| Niphotrichum canescens | ||
| Niphotrichum elongatum | Previously lumped with N. canescens, some reports of that species may actually be this taxon. FNA notes this species is more southern in its distribution, though is known to occur as far north as Gilbert Island in Southeast Alaska. (However, it's not clear where Gilbert Island is - there is one in BC adjacent to the mainland east of Haida Gwaii.) | |
| Niphotrichum ericoides | ||
| Racomitrium lanuginosum | ||
| Schistidium agassizii | ||
| Schistidium apocarpum | ||
| Schistidium frigidum | ||
| Schistidium maritimum | ||
| Schistidium strictum |
