Pohlia Explained

Pohlia is a genus of mosses in the family Mniaceae, found on all continents including Antarctica. Some of its species are native to multiple continents. The center of diversity is the Northern Hemisphere.^[1]

The genus name of Pohlia is in honour of Johann Ehrenfried Pohl (1746–1800), who was a German physician and botanist.^[2]

The genus was circumscribed by Johann Hedwig in Descriptio et Adumbratio microscopio-analytica MuscorumFrondosorum vol.1 on page 98 in 1785-1787.
