Plural of acrocarpus; mosses that bear their fruit or spore capsules at the top of the main stem.
From Greek akron 'peak' + karpos 'fruit.' The plural form of acrocarpus, describing moss reproductive structures positioned at the apex.
These mosses put all their eggs in one basket—literally! Acrocarpi mosses fruit only at the tip, unlike their cousins that fruit along the sides.
