Tetraphis is a genus of two species of mosses (Bryophyta). Its name refers to its four large peristome teeth.
==Reproduction== The sex of Tetraphis shoots can transform depending on the shoot density. When a colony is sparse female—gemmae-producing—shoots dominate. When the colony is sufficiently dense they transform into male shoots.
