Perichaetial module distal

Vouchers for scoring of characters for taxa in grade R and in the hypnodendroid pleurocarp clade are provided in Table 3.1. Taxa in the Hypnidae were assumed to be pleurocarpous with distally produced perichaetial modules and to lack subperichaetial innovations, and taxa outside of the clade that includes grade R and the higher pleurocarps were assumed not to be pleurocarpous. Perichaetial module position and presence/absence of subperichaetial innovations were considered applicable to pleurocarpous taxa only (see discussion).
