Introduction
In 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.
