Syrrhopodon
Syrrhopodon is a monophyletic genus of mosses in the family Calymperaceae. It is very similar to Calymperes. The two genera are primarily differentiated by the calyptra, which is dehiscent in Syrrhopodon and persistent in Calymperes.
Syrrhopodon is a pantropical genus, though some species have ranges extending into temperate regions. Of 114 accepted species, 39 are known from the neotropics. Syrrhopodon prefers bark as a substrate, consistent with the preferences of other genera in Calymperaceae.
