About Entodon seductrix (Hedw.) Müll.Hal.

Entodon seductrix, commonly called the seductive entodon moss or round-stem silk moss, is a moss species belonging to the family Entodontaceae. This species was originally described and published under the name Neckera seductrix by Johann Hedwig, a German botanist who made extensive contributions to moss research and is sometimes referred to as the "father of bryology". Hedwig's description and naming of Neckera seductrix was published posthumously in his work Species Muscorum Frondosorum in 1801. Later, in 1846, German bryologist Carl Müller published a more detailed description of the species in the journal Linnaea, and assigned it the currently accepted scientific name Entodon seductrix (Hedw.) Müll.Hal.
