Fissidens hydropogon is a species of moss in the family Fissidentaceae. It is endemic to Ecuador. Its natural habitat is rivers. It is threatened by habitat loss.[1]
Taxonomy and history
[edit]F. hydropogon was first validly described by English bryologist William Mitten in 1869, placing it in Fissidens sect. Octodiceras and attributing it to Richard Spruce, the collector of the holotype.[3] A 1988 revision placed F. hydropogon in Fissidens subgenus Sarawakia alongside F. beccarii and F. acacioides, though this subgenus would later be reduced to section status under Fissidens subgenus Fissidens in 2004.[4][5]
Distribution and habitat
[edit]F. hydropogon was initially only known from one site, a river in Pastaza Province, Ecuador at 450 m (1,480 ft) above sea level.[4][6] In 2008 it was discovered growing on the vegetation of Cuphea bombonasae on the periodically flooded shore of the River Nangaritza, 950 m (3,120 ft) above sea level in Zamora-Chinchipe Province, 500 km (310 mi) southwest of the type location.[7][8]
