Racopilum is a genus of mosses belonging to the family Racopilaceae.[1]
The species of this genus are found in Southern Hemisphere.[1]
The genus name of Racopilum refers to the combination of two Greek words; rhakos meaning rag or remnant, and also pilos meaning felt cap, which alludes to basally torn calyptra (cap-like structure) of some taxa.[2]
