    The taxonomy, life history and cytology of Bryopis and related genera from Southern Australia
    MacRaild, Graeme N. ( 1974)
    Three genera, Bryopsis, Derbesia and Pedobesia, have been studied in the field, in culture and through carefully correlated light and electron microscopy. Three species of Bryopsis are recognised; B.vestita, B.plumosa and B.gemellipara. These are described by combinations of characters which can be easily determined in field populations. Additional descriptions are given of the cytology, life histories and interfertility of these species and the genera Derbesia and Pedobesia. The study shows a close similarity between the three genera, which are classified within the Derbesiales.
