A hood or cap of maternal gametophyte tissue covering the developing moss capsule (sporophyte apex).

In bryology, calyptra refers to a hood or cap of maternal gametophyte tissue covering the developing moss capsule (sporophyte apex). This meaning comes from Goffinet (2008) in Bryophyte Biology. Here calyptra is not the root cap, a thimble of cells protecting the root apical meristem and mediating gravitropism.[1]

Unit: cap
Recovery means: dissecting microscopy
Measured by: presence, length (mm)
