Physcomitrella patens |
Physcomitrella is a genus of mosses, containing two[1] species. Physcomitrella patens is a model organism in laboratory research. Physcomitrella readeri is fairly similar, distinguished only by subtle characteristics. In fact, it has often been debated whether they should rightly be considered separate species, or a single species.[2]
