Weymouthia (plant) : ウィキペディア英語版 | Weymouthia (plant)
''Weymouthia'' is a genus of two species belonging to the feather mosses. ''Weymouthia'' occurs in southern South America, New Zealand and south-eastern Australia and Lord Howe Island. It is characterised by (i) its monopodial, often hanging growth form; (ii) slight differences between stem and branch leaves; and (iii) the straight perichaetial leaves. In contrast to other genera in the Lembophyllaceae, secondary stems appear unable to arch back to the substrate and then root and form a new creeping stem.〔 == Etymology == ''Weymouthia'' was named in honour of William Anderson Weymouth (1842–1932), a prominent Tasmanian botanist.〔 The species epithet ''mollis'' meaning soft, flabby, weak or feeble in Latin, refers to the exclusively hanging branches in this species. The species epithet ''cochlearifolia'' refers to the spoon-shaped leaves that resemble those of scurvy-grass.
