Bruchia is a genus of haplolepideous mosses (Dicranidae) in the family Bruchiaceae.
The genus name of Bruchia is in honour of Philipp Bruch (1781–1847), a German pharmacist and bryologist born in Zweibrücken.[1]
The genus was circumscribed by Christian Friedrich Schwägrichen in Sp. Musc. Suppl. Vol.2 (Issue 1) on page 91 in 1824.
