genus
Platyhypnidium
According to Meagher (2011), the name Platyhypnum derives from Greek platys (flat, wide) and hypnon (moss) and alludes to a prostrate and spreading habit. Platyhypnum was illegitimate at the time of Loeske’s publication of it, and Fleischer (1923) consequently substituted the new generic name Platyhypnidium.
