Which genus, Farfugium or Comptonia contains more species?
Comptonia (plant) Comptonia is a monotypic genus (containing only Comptonia peregrina) in the family Myricaceae, order Fagales. It is native to eastern North America, from southern Quebec south to the extreme north of Georgia, and west to Minnesota. The common name is sweetfern or sweet-fern, a confusing name as it is not a fern.
Dawsonia (plant) Dawsonia is a genus of acrocarpous mosses. "Dawsonia", along with other members of the order Polytrichales, are taller than most mosses and have thicker leaves. Their sporophytes have conducting systems analogous to those of vascular plants. "Dawsonia superba" is found in New Zealand, Australia and New Guinea. "Dawsonia longifolia" is found in the Philippines, Indonesia, Malaysia, and Australia. "Dawsonia superba" and "Dawsonia longifolia" may be the same species.
