Mosses is a species of exotic and charming with a unique combination of characteristics of each of its members. In Indonesia, this species can grow lush and abundant, however it was not a lot of investigate for content of this plant. This study aims to determine the diversity of bryophyta views by morphological and secondary metabolites. This research used descriptive method with qualitative approach. Sampling was conducted in four locations in Bogor Indonesian Regency by randomly. Analysis of the data used descriptive analysis to find the value of Rf (Retardation Factor) which converted into a form of the data with UPGMA (Unweighted Pair Group Method with Arithmetic Mean) model. The results showed that four types has been founded, namely Dicranella sp., Funaria hygrometrica Hedwig, Bryum billardierii Schwaegr and Pogonatum contortum Brid. Profile content of secondary metabolites showed that Dicranella sp., B. Billardierii, F. hygrometrica and P. contortum contained alkaloids, phenolics, triterpenoids/steroids and terpenoids. Kinship at the level of morphological traits and characteristics content of the secondary metabolites presented that Funaria hygrometrica Hedwig and Bryum billardierii Schwaegr (66.67%) have a closer kinship than among Dicranella sp and Funaria hygrometrica Hedwig (63.64%) meanwhile between Bryum billardierii Schwaegr and Pogonatum contortum Brid (51.52%).
