IntroductionIn the botanical classifications
Hookeriales is an Order in the subclass
Bryidae, close to
Hypnales. This is confirmed in DNA analysis.
In this book
Hookeriales is placed in
Bryidae in
Phase 7, as they are mostly epiphytic mosses. There is unfortunately no homeopathic information that can confirm this. The division in Subphase is not done, as the families are imbalanced in respect to each other as the amount of genera and because the lack of homeopathic information.
