Etymology
From mech + -ovka. * (Clitopilus): First used by Czech botanist Jan Bezděk in 1901. The name probably refers to the fact that the fungus often grows in moss (Czech mech). * (moss animal): Calque of translingual Bryozoa, from Ancient Greek βρύον (brúon, “moss”) + ζῷα (zōîa), which is a plural of ζῷον (zōîon, “animal”). It refers to the fact that colonies of some species of these animals resemble moss (Czech mech). * (Rosa × centifolia var. muscosa): Refers to the moss-like surface of the sepal.
