THE BRYOPHYTES
Sporophyte – 2N generation that gives rise
to spores for propagation.
Gametophyte – leafy green growth. 1N
generation produces sperm and eggs.
No roots – all water/nutrients absorbed
directly into leaves from
atmosphere/substrate.

FINDING THE HIDDEN
Unique habitat = Unique species
Patterns of rarity in mosses of the Okanogan Highlands of
Washington State: an emerging coarse filter approach to moss
conservation (Heinlen and Vitt 2002)
Campylium stellatum
What correlates to rarity? Can we
protect rare species without
managing each species?

BRYOPHYTES OF THE OKANOGAN: FINDING THE HIDDEN GEMS
• A diversity of habitats makes the Okanogan a great place to
discover bryophytes.
• Unique habitats in Okanogan house
some beautiful bryophyte species.
• Bryophytes remain grossly understudied; without state lists or
adequate conservation status.
• Bryophytes are awesome!
