Ptychomitriaceae

Ptychomitriaceae is a family of robust, terricolous bryophytes. Characterized by their unique features such as spirally twisted peristome teeth, they thrive in rocky and dry environments. The adaptability of ptychomitriaceae to extreme conditions is reflected in their thick, leathery leaves which play a crucial role in moisture retention, aiding their survival in harsh terrestrial habitats.
