簡要介紹
石灰蘚是苔蘚植物門的下一類植物，植株多灰綠色，密集叢生。本屬約35種，主要分布於亞熱帶及熱帶地區。中國記錄有18種，為潮濕的鈣質土及石灰岩上常見蘚類。
平葉石灰蘚
主要特徵
莖直立或傾立，單一或具分枝。葉乾時多緊貼，稀捲縮；呈三角狀一卵狀披針形，或舌形；先端漸尖或圓鈍，尖部平展或略成兜形；葉邊平直，有時背卷，多全緣，稀近尖部具微齒；中肋粗壯，長達葉尖或稍突出；葉上部細胞疏鬆，多呈整齊的4-6角形，壁薄，平滑，稀具細疣；基部細胞較長大，呈整齊的長方形，平滑且透明。雌雄異株。苞葉與幾同形。蒴柄細長，黃色。孢蒴直立，圓柱形；環帶有分化；蒴齒左旋或直立；蒴蓋具長尖直喙。常具多樣的無性繁殖芽胞體。
發現研究
1975年日人K.Saito將本屬歸併於扭口蘚屬內，作為一組，即：Sect.Hydrogonium(C.Muell.）Saito但作者認為Hydrogonium之特徵顯然有別於Barbula如本屬葉邊多平直而不明顯背卷；葉基闊，葉片多呈三角狀或披針狀舌形；苞葉比一般葉小，且無鞘部分化；蒴齒有時直立而不旋扭；常具多樣形態的無性芽胞體。見於上述明顯差異，故本書同意Hilpert(1933)及P.C.Chen(1941)之意見，仍將其獨立為石灰蘚屬。
