New national and regional bryophyte records, 18

P. Erzberger

73 new references for 72 taxa of vascular plant are here reported for the Madeira archipelago. 55 not previously recorded for Desertas Islands, 12 to Porto Santo Island and 6 for Madeira Island. Of the 72 taxa, 28 are xenophytes, and 10 are new taxa to the flora of the archipelago (of these 9 are xenophytes). Their native status, taxonomy and distribution are briefly discussed.

Dicranolejeunea axilaris (Nees & Mont.) Schiffn. Contributors: D. F. Peralta and R. Ristow Brazil: PARANÁ : Município de Campina Grande do Sul: Chácara Castelo, 25u169030S, 49u029070W, casmófita, margem da estrada, 2 April 2011, leg. R. Ristow et al. 1253 (IRAI, SP). This species occurs in Central America and the northern highlands of South America (Andes and Mount Roraima). According to Gradstein (1994) it should be expected in southeastern Brazil, but Gradstein & Costa (2003) noted a continued absence of Brazilian records. Dr S. Robbert Gradstein confirmed the identification of our specimen recorded here. This collection, from near 1000 m a.s.l., in the Atlantic Forest in the Brazilian temperate region, is the most southerly record for D. axilaris. The species is easily recognized by its lobes with dentate margins, entire underleaves and dentate perianth; a full description and illustration is given by Gradstein (1994).

31 bryophytes, 29 hepatics and two mosses, are newly reported for Guadeloupe, among these five new generic records of hepatics: Fossombronia, Heteroscyphus, Kymatocalyx, Monodactylopsis, and Zoopsidella. The follwing new synonyms in the genera Diplasiolejeunea and Lejeunea are proposed: Diplasiolejeunea matoubae and D. zacatepecensis are synonymous with D. cavifolia; D. malleiformis subsp. balnearia, subsp. bernardii, and subsp. elongata are synonymized with D. pellucida var. malleiformis, and D. cubensis, D. lanciloba as well as D. rudolphiana var. inflata are considered to belong to D. brunnea. Furtheron, Lejeunea filipes is a synonym of L. aphanes, and L. elliotti is synonymous with L. sporadica.

Journal of Bryology (2008) 30: 159–177 Bryological Notes Cheilolejeunea cedercreutzii (H.Buch & Perss.) Grolle on Madeira Island Grolle & Long (2000) list 23 species of Lejeuneaceae for Europe and Macaronesia (24 species if L. holtii Spruce is considered distinct from L. eckloniana Lindenb.). However, most of these species have a very restricted distribution in the oceanic parts of Western Europe and in Macaronesia (Azores, Madeira and Canary Islands). The genus Cheilolejeunea has been reported within these territories only from the Azores, where a single species C. cedercreutzii (H.Buch & Perss.) Grolle is known (Buch & Persson, 1941; Allorge & Allorge, 1950; Sjögren, 1978; Schumacker, 2001; Sjögren, 2001; Gabriel et al., 2005). The genus has not been reported from any of the other Macaronesian archipelagos (Söderström, Urmi & Váňa, 2002; 2007). In this paper, Cheilolejeunea is reported for the first time from Madeira. The collection agrees well with material from the Azores and it is here referred to C. cedercreutzii. Some features of the plant, including oil-bodies, are illustrated. Cheilolejeunea cedercreutzii (Fig. 1) is easily distinguished from all other Lejeuneaceae of Europe and Macaronesia, and is characterized as follows: underleaves broadly oval to suborbicular, 1.4–2 6 width of stem, bilobed to 1/4, with acute sinus and subacute lobes lobules strongly inflated, forming distinct angle with the keel, subtubular at the apex, the free margin incurved apical tooth of lobule single, to 30 mm long, with distal hyaline papilla leaf cells with thickened walls and large, sometimes bulging trigones oil-bodies large, compound, solitary, rarely 2, per cell perianths 5-carinate subfloral innovations pycnolejeuneoid (the first leaf at the base of the innovation is an underleaf). The shoots are small, to ca 0.7 mm wide (wider at the gynoecia), opaque and dark green in color. The leaf lobes are obtuse or broadly pointed and the apex is decurved. The cells of the lobe are prominent and rounded on the dorsal surface, more rarely submamillose, giving the keel a more or less crenulate appearance in profile (Fig. 1f). The oilbodies persist for a few weeks in dried specimens but are soon lost; they are almost invariably solitary (exceptionally 2 per cell) and fill more than half of the cell lumen (Fig. 1d). After they have disintegrated, the cell contents appear darkly opaque and granular. N N N N N N N # British Bryological Society 2008 DOI: 10.1179/174328208X282472 Most of the gynoecia in the specimen from Madeira lack mature perianths, and the few perianths observed were not in good condition. However, they are clearly 5-carinate. No androecia were detected, and this suggests that the species is dioicous, as indicated by Buch & Persson (1941) in the original description. The Madeiran collection has been compared with plants from Terceira (Azores) collected by Dr J.W. Bates in 1994, and no significant differences could be found. Pycnolejeuneoid subfloral innovations were noted in the Azores material. However, oil-bodies had disintegrated in the Azores material and could not be compared. In the inflated lobules forming a distinct angle with the keel, C. cedercreutzii has a superficial resemblance to Harpalejeunea molleri (Steph.) Grolle and Lejeunea patens Lindb. H. molleri is a slightly smaller plant, with conspicuous ocelli near the base of the leaf lobes; it has 2–6 (occasionally more) oil-bodies per cell, and the underleaves are very different, being retuse or shallowly bilobed with widely spreading broadly rounded lobes. Lejeunea patens is pale to whitish green, commonly has 2–8 oilbodies per cell, and the underleaves are bilobed to half of their length. The taxonomic status of C. cedercreutzii as an independent species is outside the scope of this note and remains uncertain. A full assessment is hardly possible without a wide-ranging revision of both neotropical and palaeotropical species. Grolle (1983) noted that it is closely related to the African C. usambarana (Steph.) Grolle, with which it shares pycnolejeuneoid subfloral innovations. However C. cedercreutzii differs in its apparently dioicous sexual condition. According to Wigginton (2004), C. usambarana is autoicous, although this is not always readily apparent as the androecia are often remote from the gynoecia. C. cedercreutzii also has many points in common with C. oncophylla (Ångstr.) Grolle & Reiner from the Neotropics. However, that species too is autoicous, and as described by Grolle & Reiner-Drehwald (1997), it has more deeply lobed underleaves (to 40% of the length) and more strongly mamillose lobe cells. The locality for C. cedercreutzii is to the east of the Encumeada Pass on the north side of Pico Topeiro at an altitude of ca 1150 m. The sample was collected from a Received 29 January 2008.

(a) Vegetative shoot, ventral view; (b) underleaf; (c) single leaf, ventral view; (d) median cells of leaf lobe, with oil-bodies; (e) detail of lobule apex, flattened, showing apical tooth and distal papilla; (f) detail of leaf keel. Drawn by M.C. Watling from Blockeel 36/102. loose piece of bark on a moribund Erica bush in tall heath vegetation. It was closely associated with Harpalejeunea molleri and sparsely with Microlejeunea ulicina (Taylor) A.Evans, Lejeunea patens Lindb. and Frullania teneriffae (F.Weber) Nees. The northern slopes of the mountains of Madeira at this altitude are very humid with frequent accumulations of cloud. Myurium hochstetteri (Schimp.) Kindb. occurs on the crags near the Cheilolejeunea site, and the endemic Tylimanthus madeirensis Grolle & Perss. on humus-covered ledges. Sjögren (1978) indicates that, in the Azores, C. cedercreutzii is confined to habitats where air humidity almost permanently exceeds 80%. He notes its occurrence on moist old pieces of bark of Juniperus brevifolia (Seub.) Antoine, a habitat very similar to that of the new site on Madeira. Although in a later paper Sjögren (2003) comments that it is ‘almost only epiphyllous’ in the Azores, it is certainly not confined to this habitat, occurring also as an epiphyte and in rock crevices. Schumacker (2001) states that it is ‘not rare at all’ on the Azorean islands on which it is known, being overlooked because of its similarity to other small Lejeuneaceae. It is likely that it will be found at additional localities on Madeira, and probably on different substrates. BRYOLOGICAL NOTES Cheilolejeunea cedercreutzii (H.Buch & Perss.)

Aloina brevirostris (Hook. & Grev.) Kindb. Contributors: H.W. Matcham and J.G. Duckett Chile: REGION XII MAGALLANES: PROV. DE MAGALLANES: roadside cutting along Route 5, 58 km north of Punta Arenas, 52u21988.10S, 71u05917.10E, ca 20 m a.s.l., leg. H.W. Matcham & J.G. Duckett, 6 September 2006 (UMAG, Priv. Herb. J.G. Duckett, Priv. Herb. H.W. Matcham). Predominately a northern hemisphere species, Aloina brevirostris was previously known from the southern hemisphere only from South Africa (Hodgetts, Matcham & Duckett, 1999) and the Alexander Island and James Ross Island group in the Antarctic (Ochyra, Bednarek-Ochyra & Lewis Smith, 1998). At the site in Chile, A. brevirostris was associated with Pterygoneurum ovatum (Hedw.) Dixon. The Chilean specimens are synoicous, whereas the related A. catillum (Müll.Hal.) Broth. is described (Delgadillo, 1975) as being dioicous, cladautoicous or paroicous and has so far been recorded only from Argentina. According to Delgadillo (1975) its taxonomic position requires further study. 2. Bryum archangelicum Schimp. Contributors: R. Ochyra and R. D. Seppelt Heard Island: no locality or habitat details given, 53u050S, 73u300E, 19 March 1980, leg. J. Jenkin No. 80/ 115 (Seppelt no. 10743) (ADT). 162 BRYOLOGICAL NOTES Bryum archangelicum is here broadly conceived to include the species long known as B. inclinatum (Brid.) Turton (Holyoak, 2004). Because the latter name is a later homonym, this common Holarctic moss has been named B. amblyodon Müll.Hal. in recent decades. This reservation is necessary since some authors (e.g. Nyholm, 1993; Zolotov, 2006) still argue for the specific distinctness of these two species. The broadly interpreted B. archangelicum is a bipolar species with some intermediate stations in the tropical and subtropical regions of South America (Ochi, 1980 as Bryum amblyodon). In the temperate and polar regions of the Southern Hemisphere B. archangelicum is scattered in western Patagonia, the Falkland Islands and the Tierra del Fuego archipelago (Ochi, 1982). Moreover, it deeply penetrates the maritime Antarctic, extending along the western coast of the Antarctic Peninsula to central Alexander Island (Ochyra & Ochi, 1986; Ochyra, Lewis Smith & Bednarek-Ochyra, in press) and recently it was also discovered in the Schirmacher Oasis in Dronning Maud Land on the continent (Ochyra & Singh, in press). In the Subantarctic, the species has so far been known from a highly isolated station on Îles Kerguelen (Ochi, 1972) and the present record represents an extension of the species in the Kerguelen Province. The material consists of a single mature capsule which allows an accurate determination. 3. Bryum orbiculatifolium Cardot & Broth. Contributors: R. Ochyra and R. D. Seppelt Heard Island: no locality or habitat details given, 53u050S, 73u300E, 19 March 1980, leg. J. Jenkin No. 80/ 097 (Seppelt no. 10997) (ADT). Bryum orbiculatifolium is a very characteristic and readily recognised species with deeply concave, orbicular leaves. It has been very occasionally collected in western Patagonia (Ochi, 1982), subantarctic South Georgia (Ochyra, Bednarek-Ochyra & Lewis Smith, 2002) and Tristan da Cunha (Dixon, 1960 as Bryum cymbifoliellum). It extends to the northern maritime Antarctic where is known from the volcanic Leskov Island and Candlemas Island in the South Sandwich Islands archipelago (Convey et al., 2001) and Deception Island in the South Shetland Islands (Lewis Smith, 2005a, b, c) and recently, it was also encountered on the continent in the Schirmacher Oasis in Dronning Maud Land (Ochyra & Singh, in press). The report of the species from King George Island in the latter archipelago (Ochyra & Ochi, 1986; Ochyra, 1998) is based on a misdetermination. The discovery of B. orbiculatifolium on Heard Island in the Kerguelen Province represents a major extension of its range and confirms its phytogeographical status as an amphiatlantic south-temperate species. 4. Bucklandiella didyma (Mont.) Bednarek-Ochyra & Ochyra Contributors: H. Bednarek-Ochyra and R. Ochyra Australia: NEW SOUTH WALES: Diggers Creek, 24 km N.E. of Mt Kosciusko, 36u210S, 148u290E, 1500 m a.s.l., in open Eucalyptus forest with introduced Salix along stream, on exposed rock besides stream, 9 February 1978, leg. H. Streimann no. 5435 (ALTA, H, KRAM). AUSTRALIAN CAPITAL TERRITORY: Namadgi National Park, Mt Gudgenby, 54.5 km SW of Capital Hill, Canberra, 35u46.50S, 148u54.50E, ca 1720 m a.s.l., rocky pinnacle of Mt Gudgenby, on exposed boulders, 16 January 1985, leg. J. A. Curnow no. 268 & H. Lepp (DUKE). New Zealand: OTAGO: Clinton Valley, wet rocks, leg. W. Petrie no. 619 (in Herb. T. W. Naylor Beckett) and sine numero (in herb. W. Bell) (H, two specimens). Bucklandiella didyma is one of the few austral species of the broadly conceived genus Racomitrium which had not been considered conspecific with Racomitrium crispulum (Hook.f. & Wilson) Hook.f. & Wilson by Clifford (1955). The name has long remained in obsolescence but Deguchi (1984) examined the original material of this species and confirmed its distinctiveness. Bednarek-Ochyra, Ochyra & Buck (1999) outlined the morphological differences between Bucklandiella didyma and B. crispula (Hook.f. & Wilson) Bednarek-Ochyra & Ochyra and extended its geographical range to south-eastern Brazil. Subsequent revisionary studies of the austral collections revealed that the species is widely distributed on subantarctic islands from South Georgia to the Kerguelen Province, and in Tristan da Cunha, South Africa, and in the northern maritime Antarctic (Ochyra, Lewis Smith & BednarekOchyra, 2008). Its range is now extended to south-eastern Australia and the South Island of New Zealand. Accordingly, B. didyma is defined as a pan-south-temperate species and the monographic study of Bucklandiella in the Southern Hemisphere (Bednarek-Ochyra & Ochyra, in progress), should precisely establish its geographical range in Australasia. 5. Bucklandiella pachydictyon (Cardot) BednarekOchyra & Ochyra Contributors: H. Bednarek-Ochyra and R. Ochyra Prince Edward Islands: MARION ISLAND: no locality or habitat details given, 53u050S, 73u300E, 14 March 1952, leg. R.W. Rand no. 3642 (GRO). Îles Crozet: ÎLE DE LA POSSESSION: summit of Mont Branca, west of Port Alfred, 380 m a.s.l., 46u250S, 51u500E, on exposed rock surface, 23 December 1978, leg. Bell 1457 (AAS, KRAM). Bucklandiella pachydictyon is an amphiatlantic southtemperate species which is widely distributed but scattered in the Fuegian region and in the Nothofagus zone at the western fringes of southern South America where it extends northward to the Cautin Province of Chile in the Valdivian region (Herzog, 1938), with an isolated location in Central Andes of Bolivia at an elevation of 3600 m (Churchill, Griffin & Muñoz, 2000). In addition, it occurs frequently on subantarctic South Georgia (Bell, 1974) and infrequently on Îles Kerguelen (Cardot, 1916; Ochyra, personal observations), and penetrates southwards into the maritime Antarctic (Ochyra, Lewis Smith & Bednarek-Ochyra, in press). The discovery of the species BRYOLOGICAL NOTES on Marion Island in the Prince Edward Islands archipelago and on Île de la Possession in the Îles Crozet archipelago completes its continuous range in the western part of the Subantarctic. 6. Entodon concinnus (De Not.) Paris Contributors: Tamás Pócs, B.O. van Zanten and Peter Erzberger Hungary: GÖDÖLLŐ HILLS: Comit. Pest, Vácrátót, Botanical Garden, in the turf of the Conifer collection, 8 September 1983, leg. et det. T. Pócs & B.O. van Zanten s.n., conf. P. Erzberger, 30 April 2007 (EGR, dupl. in B, BP). In the checklist of Hungarian bryophytes (Erzberger & Papp, 2004), Entodon concinnus was excluded because earlier reports had been considered doubtful by Hungarian authorities (Boros, 1968; Orbán & Vajda, 1983) and no specimen could be located. Recently, T.P. made available several specimens from EGR, which had not been seen during the preparation of the checklist, and one proved to be E. concinnus. Perhaps this species has been overlooked in the past due to a superficial similarity to common species like Pseudoscleropodium purum (Hedw.) M.Fleisch., Pleurozium schreberi (Willd. ex Brid.) Mitt., or Calliergonella cuspidata (Hedw.) Loeske. These species have in fact been confused with E. concinnus, as is evident from several incorrectly named specimens in Hungarian herbaria seen by P.E. The apparent rarity of E. concinnus in Hungary is somewhat enigmatic, since there should be sufficient potential growth sites in the limestone districts. 163 This specimen was unnamed by the collector; however, later ‘Grimmia apocarpa (L.) Hedw.’ was added in a different handwriting (perhaps by Á. Boros or L. Vajda). During revision of Schistidium specimens from BP by P.E. and Wiebke Schröder (Erzberger & Schröder, 2008), the specimen was recognised as Grimmia sp. and sent to E.M. for revision, who established its true identity. The collection site on the north side of Lake Balaton is famous for its basalt rocks with the relict fern Notholaena marantae (L.) Desv., and interesting bryophytes like Pterogonium gracile (Hedw.) Sm., Saelania glaucescens (Hedw.) Broth. in crevices, and Mannia fragrans (Balb.) Frye & L.Clark, Oxymitra incrassata (Brot.) Sérgio & Sim-Sim, Pyramidula tetragona (Brid.) Brid. and others in the open grasslands near the top (414 m a.s.l.). A second Hungarian locality of G. elatior was discovered recently. In August 2007, P.E. and P.Sz. collected two specimens of Grimmia, which were revised as G. elatior by E.M.: Com. Pest, Mt Naszály near Vác, 47u499300N, 19u099500E, ca 550 m a.s.l., on sandstone boulder scree near the summit, associated with Hedwigia ciliata var. leucophaea Bruch & Schimp., leg. P. Erzberger nos. 12613, 12614 and P. Szűcs, 11 August 2007, det. E. Maier, 22 October 2007 (B). Grimmia elatior is not included in the recent checklist of Hungary (Erzberger & Papp 2004). It is new to the bryophyte flora of Hungary. 7. Grimmia decipiens (Schultz) Lindb. Contributors: Peter Erzberger and Eva Maier Hungary: BALATON UPLANDS: Comit.

Erzberger no. 10833, 30 March 2005, det. E. Maier, 19 September 2005 (B). Grimmia decipiens was considered doubtful in the recent checklist of the bryophytes of Hungary (Erzberger & Papp, 2004) because earlier reports had been rejected by Boros (1968) and no specimen had been located. Therefore, the above-mentioned collection is the first confirmed record for Hungary. 9. Grimmia lisae De Not. Contributors: Peter Erzberger and Eva Maier Hungary: BÖRZSÖNY MTS: Comit.

In 164 BRYOLOGICAL NOTES Europe, it is reported from many countries situated mainly along the western seacoasts (from southern Scandinavia to northern Spain). The number of its localities has increased recently and the moss appears to be spreading to the east (Frahm, 2002; Lüth, 2004). In the Czech Republic, it was recorded growing vertically on the bark of Fraxinus excelsior at a height of 205 cm above the ground, with an E.N.E. aspect.

Seppelt Macquarie Island: (1) Sawyer Creek Gorge, 54u309S, 158u53930.00E, on rock on steep seepage slope opposite main waterfall gorge, 5 December 1981, leg. R. D. Seppelt no. 12109 (ADT, KRAM); (2) Flat Creek Waterfall, S.E. of Cormorant Point, 54u34928.00S, 158u529E, 25 m a.s.l., on peat in hanging moss carpet in splash zone at edge of watercourse, with Montia fontana, Brachythecium, 5 November 1981, leg. R. D. Seppelt no. 11600 (ADT, KRAM). Philonotis polymorpha is a poorly and still imperfectly known hydrophytic species, growing mostly on stream banks, as well as shores of ponds and lakes, occasionally forming swards of several square metres. The plants can sometimes reach a considerable length, to 30 cm. It is widely distributed on the Southern Ocean islands, including South Georgia (Clarke, 1973 as P. acicularis), Prince Edward Islands (van Zanten, 1971 as P. cf. angustifolia; Ochyra, personal observations), Tristan da Cunha (Dixon, 1937) and Îles Kerguelen from whence it was originally described (Müller, 1883, 1889), and reaches the northern maritime Antarctic (Ochyra, Bednarek-Ochyra & Lewis Smith, 1998). With the present record, its geographical range is markedly extended to subantarctic Macquarie Island in the Australasian sector of the Subantarctic. Accordingly, the phytogeographical status of P. polymorpha has to be redefined as circumsubantarctic. This species is omitted from the recently published moss flora of Macquarie Island and it was misnamed Aulacomnium palustre (Hedw.) Schwägr. (Seppelt 2004), although the latter species also occurs on the island. The discovery of P. polymorpha and the recent addition of Bucklandiella lamprocarpa (Müll.Hal.) Bednarek-Ochyra & Ochyra (Bednarek-Ochyra & Ochyra, 2007) increases the number of moss species known from this subantarctic island to 86, with a further four taxa which have not yet been definitely named to species. 12.

Duckett, 24 November 2005 (Priv. Herb. J.G. Duckett, Priv. Herb. H.W. Matcham). 13. Pterygoneurum ovatum (Hedw.) Dixon Contributors: H.W. Matcham and J.G. Duckett Chile: REGION XII MAGALLANES: PROV. DE MAGALLANES: roadside cutting along Route 5, 58 km north of Punta Arenas, 52u21988.10S, 71u05917.10E, ca 20 m a.s.l., leg. H.W. Matcham & J.G. Duckett, 6 September 2006 (UMAG, Priv. Herb. J.G. Duckett, Priv. Herb. H.W. Matcham). Pterygoneurum ovatum is new to Latin America. Elsewhere in the southern hemisphere, it is recorded from Antarctica (Lewis Smith, 1985; Ochyra, Lewis Smith & Bednarek-Ochyra, in press) and Australia (Scott & Stone, 1976). At the site in Chile, it was associated with Aloina brevirostris (Hook. & Grev.) Kindb. 14. Schistidium frigidum H.H.Blom var. frigidum Contributor: Louis Thouvenot Andorra (Pyrenees): ORDINO: Coma del Forat (Arcalis), UTM 31T CH7519, at base of sheer slope of mica schist crag, 2456 m a.s.l., with Andreaea rupestris var. rupestris Hedw., leg. L. Thouvenot no. 3281, 15 July 2007, conf. H. H. Blom (PC, Priv. Herb. Thouvenot). Schistidium frigidum has a circumpolar arctic-alpine distribution and in Europe, it is known from the Nordic countries and the Alps (Blom, 1996). This species is unrecorded in the Pyrenees, the Iberian Peninsula (Casas, 2000) and France. The present discovery in Andorra (Eastern Pyrenees) extends its area towards the southwestern European high mountains. According to Blom, the species is very variable and the features of the Andorran S. frigidum include small cupulate urns, somewhat longer than wide, distinct marginal basal leaf cells (in 1–3 rows), mostly hyaline, with thickened cross-walls, and basal cells near costa wider and thin-walled, forming a conspicuous hyaline group. The vegetative leaves are mostly epilose and the median cells variously smooth or sinuose. 15. Scorpiurium sendtneri (Schimp.) M.Fleisch. Contributor: V. Hugonnot France: ARDÈCHE: Les Vans, Paı̈olive, 4.25988uE, 44.4428uN, leg. V. Hugonnot, 28 March 2005, and additional sites in the Paı̈olive district (PC, Priv. Herb. Hugonnot). Mastracci (2001) reported Scorpiurium sendtneri as new to France, from an old herbarium sheet labelled ‘Thamnium alopecurum forme Draguignan’ in ‘Provence, Draguignan, du pont de clorques a Encapis 8 janvier 1912 Girod ver: Theriot’. The specimen is apparently stored in G but seems to be lost. Cortini Pedrotti (2006, p. 862) writes that after examination of the type specimen of Thamnobryum cossyrense (Bott.) A.J.E.Sm. stored in FI, she came to the conclusion that it is identical with Scorpiurium circinatum (Brid.) M.Fleisch. & Loeske and not with S. sendtneri. This 165 BRYOLOGICAL NOTES is in contradiction with the views of Mastracci (2001), who placed it in synonymy with S. sendtneri. I (V.H.) have been able to study an isolectotype of Thamnium cossyrense Bott. (under PC0080128) and it is equally referable to Scorpiurium circinatum. This casts some doubt about the identity of the French specimen of ‘Thamnium alopecurum forme Draguignan’ and consequently the latter should be re-evaluated if the specimen can be traced. All the specimens of Scorpiurium sendtneri stored in PC have been examined and no additional specimen originating from France could be found. Consequently, S. sendtneri is here confirmed for France. It is basically a northern Mediterranean species with radiations in to Macaronesia and south-western Asia. It has recently been added to the African bryoflora, in Morocco at Jbel Bouhalla (Jiménez et al., 2002). Walther (1975) uses the informal combination ‘monstr. Microphylla’ to describe the epiphytic monstrous form bearing numerous caducous branchlets bearing reduced leaves. This form has been observed very frequently in south Ardèche, including over calcareous rocks. The basic structure of that form is generally not evident in the field because it is greatly obscured by the profusion of caducuous branchlets (tertiary axes). All the new localities in Ardèche are situated in the Paı̈olive karstic forest, on small vertical and dry calcareous walls, well shaded by the trees in the immediate vicinity. Scorpiurium sendtneri has been observed too on the bark of Quercus humilis Miller, but this habitat seems to be more exceptional locally. 16. Vittia elimbata Hedenäs, Vanderpoorten & Goffinet Contributors: H.W. Matcham, J.G. Duckett and L. Hedenäs Chile: REGION XII MAGALLANES: PROV. DE ULTIMA ESPERANZA: Laguna Sofia, ca 40 km north-west of Puerto Natales, 51u549S, 72u599E, ca 111 m a.s.l., leg. H.W. Matcham & J.G. Duckett, 7 September 2006, det. L. Hedenäs (BM, KRAM, S, UMAG, Priv. Herb. H.W. Matcham). Vittia elimbata was collected from the edge of the lake at this site, where it would certainly have been inundated periodically; it was possibly washed up by wave action from deeper water. Reassessing the taxonomic position of the Vittiaceae, Vanderpoorten et al. (2003) described V. elimbata from a single collection in Bolivia at Laguna Ventanani. Gathered from running water on the face of a waterfall at 3810 m a. s. l., it differed from the other two species described in the genus, viz. V. pachyloma (Mont.) Ochyra and V. salina Hedenäs & J. Muñoz, in lacking a bior multistratose leaf border, but had a partly bistratose lamina in the upper part of the leaf. Vanderpoorten et al. (2003) synonymized the Vittiaceae into the Amblystegiaceae. Our collection from Laguna Sofia in the Patagonian steppe represents a markedly southerly extension of range of this aquatic moss, although it is not an entirely unexpected extension phytogeographically, considering the number of other disjunct species found in the Andes and in southern South America.

Revision accepted 26 March 2008 DOI: 10.1179/174328208X300570 Notes on some newly recorded bryophytes from Montenegro The bryophyte flora of Montenegro is still poorly explored, although considerable progress has been made recently. This is reflected in the publication of a checklist based to a large extent on literature reports (Dragićević & Veljić, 2006) and of several comprehensive contributions (Milikić et al., 2001; Veljić et al., 2001; Dragićević et al., 2001, 2003; Martinčič, 2006; Erzberger & Papp, 2007; Papp & Erzberger, 2007). The present paper reports observations made during a collection trip to the Orjen Mts and the Bjelasica Mts in July 2007. A complete account of the floristic results will be published elsewhere, but here we wish to draw attention to 25 taxa, eight liverworts and 17 mosses, which, to our knowledge, have not yet been documented for Montenegro. The Bjelasica Mts are one of the few Montenegran mountain ranges composed of siliceous bedrock, while the Orjen Mts are carboniferous limestone. Owing to their situation close to the sea, the Orjen Mts receive an exceptionally high amount of precipitation (y8000 mm/y; Komar, 1995), the runoff from which vanishes almost immediately in the karstic underground. This can lead to very special microsites where erosion exposes patches of subneutral soil from which the bases have been washed out, and where some subneutrophytic and even acidophytic bryophytes that would not be expected in a calcareous mountain region can be observed: Trematodon ambiguus, Pleuridium acuminatum, Pohlia andalusica, Pogonatum nanum, Polytrichum commune var. perigoniale and Lophozia sudetica (Table 1, site 6). Another site that deserves special mention is the region around Zekova glava peak (2020–2080 m a.s.l.) in the Bjelasica Mts (Table 1, sites 14 and 15). Here, in an area with obvious late snow beds, several species new to Montenegro have been found: Anthelia juratzkana, Diplophyllum taxifolium, Gymnomitrion concinnatum, Marsupella sphacelata, Encalypta microstoma, Pseudotaxiphyllum elegans and Schistidium umbrosum. Out of 15 sites visited, novelties are reported from nine sites (Table 1). Nomenclature follows Hill et al. (2006) and Grolle & Long (2000). Voucher specimens are held in the Botanical Museum at Berlin–Dahlem (B: collected by P.E.) and the Hungarian Natural History Museum at Budapest (BP: collected by B.P.). In evaluating additions to the bryoflora of Montenegro, we consulted, in addition to the papers mentioned above, the regional checklists by Düll (1995), Düll et al. (1999), Sabovljević & Stevanović (1999), Sabovljević (2000), Ganeva & Natcheva (2003), Martinčič (2003), Natcheva & Ganeva (2005), Colacino & Sabovljević (2006), Sabovljević & Natcheva (2006), and a preliminary version of the check-list of the mosses of south-east Europe (in prep.). Anthelia juratzkana (arctic-alpine) 15a, on soil, associated with Gymnomitrion concinnatum, Marsupella sphacelata, Saelania glaucescens, Timmia austriaca, leg. P.E. 12565, 12569, conf. J. Váňa (B); 15b leg. B.P. (BP 49229/H). Calypogeia suecica (suboceanic-montane) 8, on decaying wood with Riccardia palmata, leg. B.P. (BP 49230/H). This species, known from six countries in south-east Europe, has perhaps been overlooked. In Serbia, it is a recent addition (Papp & Sabovljević, 2002). Diplophyllum taxifolium (boreal subarctic-alpine) 14b, in rock fissures, associated with Bartramia ithyphylla, Heterocladium dimorphum, leg. P.E. 12558, rev. J. Váňa (B). This is the first record of the genus Diplophyllum for Montenegro. Gymnomitrion concinnatum (subarctic alpine) 14a, on soil in siliceous rock crevices associated with Barbilophozia hatcheri, Marsupella sphacelata, Lophozia sudetica, leg. B.P. (BP 49231/H); 15a, on soil, associated with Anthelia juratzkana, Marsupella sphacelata, Saelania glaucescens, Timmia austriaca, leg. P.E. 12561, 12564, 12565, 12573, conf. J. Váňa (B); 15b, leg. B.P. (BP 49232/ H). G. concinnatum, like A. juratzkana and M. sphacelata, a typical late-snow bed hepatic, has been added to the Serbian list recently (Erzberger & Papp, 2007). Lophozia ascendens (boreal-montane) 8, on decaying wood with Lophozia ventricosa, Lepidozia reptans, leg. B.P. (BP 49233/H); and leg. P.E. 12398 (B). In Serbia, L. ascendens is a recent addition (Papp & Sabovljević, 2002). We have also found it in the Prokletije Mts in Montenegro recently (Papp & Erzberger, unpublished). Lophozia sudetica (boreal-montane) 6, on soil in limestone rock crevices associated with Pohlia andalusica and P. cruda, leg. B.P. (BP 49234/H). 9, on siliceous rock associated with Andreaea rupestris, leg. B.P. (BP 49235/H); and 14a, on soil in siliceous rock crevices with Barbilophozia hatcheri, Gymnomitrion concinnatum and Marsupella sphacelata, leg. B.P. (BP 49236/ H). 168 BRYOLOGICAL NOTES 3, on soil overlying limestone, near road, leg B.P. (BP 174415) and P.E. 12303 (B). The occurrence of C. chloropus, previously known from seven countries in south-east Europe, was to be expected in the mediterranean part of Montenegro. Encalypta microstoma 14a, on soil among siliceous rocks associated with Heterocladium dimorphum, leg. B.P. (BP 174416) This rare species of the higher mountains has been recorded in southeast Europe only in Bulgaria (Rila Mts) and recently in Serbia (Stara Planina Mts; Erzberger & Papp, 2007). Grimmia anomala (subarctic-subalpine) 9, on dry siliceous rock outcrops, associated with Grimmia caespiticia, leg. P.E. 12441, 12443, 12445, conf. E. Maier (B) and leg. B.P. (BP 174417). G. anomala, a rare species, has been added to the Serbian and Albanian lists recently (Papp, Erzberger & Sabovljević, 2004; Erzberger, 2008), but is absent from the other south-east European countries except Romania.

BRYOLOGICAL NOTES Grimmia species proposed by Greven (1995), G. anomala is classified as an endangered species. The populations in the Bjelasica Mts are very large. Grimmia torquata (boreo-arctic montane) 9, under overhanging siliceous rocks, leg. P.E. 12486 (B) and leg. B.P. (BP 174418). G. torquata has been added to the Serbian list recently (Erzberger & Papp, 2007). Orthotrichum acuminatum (submediterranean-montane) 3, on the bark of Tilia with O. affine, O. pallens, O. striatum, leg. B. P. (BP 174539) conf. R. Garilleti. Pogonatum nanum (suboceanic-submediterranean) 6, on freshly exposed soil in an erosion runnel, leg. P.E. 12363 (B). Polytrichum commune var. perigoniale (sub-boreal holarctic) 6, on soil among limestone rocks, leg. B.P. (BP 174420). For the distribution of this taxon in south-east Europe, only Düll et al. (1999) could be consulted, since other sources do not differentiate it from P. commune. Var. perigoniale is considered as a full species by some bryologists (Schoepe, 2000; Meinunger & Schröder, 2007). In Serbia and Greece, it is a recent addition (Papp & Erzberger, 2005; Tsakiri, Papp & Szurdoki, 2006). Pseudotaxiphyllum elegans (suboceanic) 14a, on soil in siliceous rock crevices associated with Plagiothecium denticulatum, Lophozia ventricosa, Barbilophozia hatcheri, leg. B.P. (BP 174421). Racomitrium lanuginosum (boreo-arctic montane circumpolar) 14b, on siliceous rock, associated with Dicranum scoparium, Dicranoweisia crispula, leg. P.E. 12544, 12545 (B). This species is a recent addition to Serbia (Erzberger & Papp, 2007). Schistidium dupretii (circumboreal-montane) 2a, on limestone rock, leg. P.E. 12266 conf. W. Schröder (B); 8, on concrete of a broken-down bridge, associated with S. crassipilum, Tortula muralis, Syntrichia ruralis, Encalypta streptocarpa, leg. P.E. 12397 conf. W. Schröder (B). This species has been reported from Greece, Macedonia and Romania (Blom, 1996); it is new to Montenegro. Its distribution is imperfectly known, since it has only recently been brought to the attention of bryologists. The same can be said for the other species of the genus. Schistidium papillosum (circumpolar boreo-arctic montane) 9, on dry siliceous rock outcrops, leg. P.E. 12483 conf. W. Schröder (B). This species is in south-east Europe at present known from Bulgaria, Greece (Lüth, 2003), Romania and Serbia, where it is a recent addition (Erzberger & Papp, 2007), and is doubtfully recorded from Slovenia (Martinčič, 2003). Schistidium umbrosum 15a, on soil, associated with Dicranoweisia crispula, Anthelia juratzkana, Saelania glaucescens, Timmia austriaca, leg. P.E. 12567, 12568 det. H. Köckinger (B). This appears to be the second record of the species for the 169 Balkan peninsula. Blom (1996) mentions a single collection from Bosnia-Hercegovina. S. umbrosum appears to be a rare alpine species. Syntrichia virescens (european temperate) 1, on the bark of Robinia near the well at the monument, intermingled with cushions of Syntrichia laevipila, but differentiated by smaller size, the denticulate hair-point and the costa papillose on the abaxial side, leg. P.E. 12388 (B). 9, on siliceous rocks associated with Pseudoleskea patens, Grimmia muehlenbeckii, Grimmia anomala, leg. B.P. (BP 174423) and leg. P.E. 12461 (B); and on the bark of Fagus associated with Pseudoleskeella nervosa, Orthotrichum stramineum, O. pumilum, Pterigynandrum filiforme leg. B.P. (BP 174424), and leg. P.E. 12456 (B). Taxiphyllum wissgrillii (suboceanic) 5, on shaded limestone rock associated with Gymnostomum aeruginosum, leg. B.P. (BP 174425). Trematodon ambiguus 6, on soil, leg. B.P. (BP 174426), dupl. (B Erzberger 12385). This rare species with a scattered distribution in Europe was known from Bulgaria (only found in the first half of the twentieth century), Romania and Slovenia. During, Verduyn & van Tooren (2007) studied the ecological requirements of this species in Belgium and the Netherlands, where it has been observed more frequently in the recent past, probably due to the increased use of sod cutting as a conservation management tool. They conclude that the species requires a rather high pH in an otherwise acid environment, and they state that they ‘‘do not know of any locality for this species with large-scale base-rich conditions’’ (During et al., 2007). Our finding, on the other hand, seems to be just this: the underlying limestone bedrock surely provides overall base-rich conditions, and under these conditions neutral or mildly acid soil is available in restricted patches only. In an area without tree cover, the often copious amounts of rain must lead to strong soil erosion. Obviously, these factors combine to wash out bases from the soil superficially and create patches of bare soil, where short-lived species like T. ambiguus can thrive without competitors. Ulota bruchii (northern suboceanic european) 8, on a thin branch of Picea abies near the water, leg. P.E. 12406 (B). Weissia controversa var. crispata (Weissia fallax Sehlm.) (submediterranean-montane holarctic) 1, on soil between partly shaded calcareous rocks, associated with Homalothecium sericeum and Tortella tortuosa leg. P.E. 12245 (B); 2b, on soil among limestone rocks in Pinetum heldreichii, associated with Ditrichum flexicaule, leg. P.E. 12278 (B). This taxon is considered a full species by some bryologists (Meinunger & Schröder, 2007; Schlüsslmayr, 2005). We are very grateful to H. Köckinger and W. Schröder for the examination of Schistidium specimens, to J. Váňa for revision of hepatics, and to E. Maier for the examination of Grimmia specimens, to R. Garilleti for the 170 BRYOLOGICAL NOTES confirmation of Orthotrichum acuminatum, and to M. Sabovljević for making available a preliminary version of the checklist of the mosses of south-east Europe.

Journal of Bryology (2008) 30: 170–173 # British Bryological Society 2008 Received 23 November 2007. Revision accepted 6 January 2008 DOI: 10.1179/174328208X281969 A contribution to the understanding of Heterocladium heteropterum and its relationship with H. wulfsbergii Nomenclatural issues and lectotypifications The authorship of Heterocladium heteropterum is confused due to the early history of its epithet. Despite several deviating treatments (e.g. Crosby et al., 1999; Crum & Anderson, 1981; Frey et al., 2006; Hill et al., 2006; Nyholm, 171 BRYOLOGICAL NOTES 1960; Smith, 2004), this species can only be understood as having been originally described as new by Schimper (in Bruch, Schimper & Gümbel, 1851–1855). The name is thus not based on Pterigynandrum heteropterum Brid. (BridelBrideri, 1827), even if the interpretation of early treatments is partly confusing. The name is also not based on ‘Pterogonium heteropterum Bruch ex Schwaegr.’ (cf. Nyholm, 1960; Smith, 2004), since Schwaegrichen (1827) referred to Pterigynandrum heteropterum and page 176 in part 2 of Bridel-Brideri (1827) and it is therefore clear that Pterogonium heteropterum is a new combination by Schwaegrichen based on the Pterigynandrum name. Schimper (in Bruch et al., 1851–1855) first treated Pterigynandrum heteropterum as a variety of P. filiforme Hedw. in fascicles 46–47 of Bryologia Europaea (1851). Later, in the historical part of the generic protologue of Heterocladium (fasc. 49–51, 1852), he expressly stated that his H. heteropterum is one of the two new (‘neu’, ‘nouvelles’) species of the genus. At the same time, he made it clear that Hypnum heteropterum (Brid.) Hampe, based on Pterigynandrum heteropterum Brid., is not what he then described as Heterocladium heteropterum but represents a variety of Pterigynandrum filiforme – ‘Hypnum heteropterum der Auctoren ist durchaus nicht unser H. heteropterum, sondern eine Varietät von Pterigynandrum filiforme’. No doubt, the latter statement must refer to his 1851 treatment and thus proves definite exclusion of Bridel’s taxon from his own Heterocladium heteropterum. On the other hand, in connection with the description of his Heterocladium heteropterum (fasc. 49–51, 1852), Schimper (in Bruch et al., 1851–1855) cited ‘Hypnum heteropterum (Schwaegr.) Rob. Spruce Ms.’. The Spruce material included among the syntypes, no. 56 in Musci Pyrenaici (Spruce, 1847) which label bears the name ‘Hypnum (heteropterum, Schwaegr.)’ and ‘Pterogonium heteropterum Schwaegr.’ and no indication that Spruce considered this to be a new species, thus proving that Spruce apparently believed that his plant was the same as the one of Schwaegrichen, and therefore in the end referring back to Bridel’s Pterigynandrum heteropterum or Hypnum heteropterum (Brid.) Hampe (Hampe, 1837). Nevertheless, as presented by Schimper (in Bruch et al., 1851–1855), the Spruce reference can only mean Hypnum heteropterum sensu Spruce (in sched., 1847), a mere misapplication lacking any nomenclatural status, yet forming quite essential element of Schimper’s new species (see the lectotypification below). Accordingly, his cryptic Spruce citation under Heterocladium heteropterum by no means Table 1. indicates indirect inclusion of Bridel’s Pterigynandrum heteropterum. Neither Schimper’s Heterocladium heteropterum nor Bridel’s Pterigynandrum heteropterum appear to have been lectotypified, and lectotypes are therefore selected here to stabilise the use of these names.

In herbarium Schimper in BM, only one of the syntypes that are mentioned in the protologue of Heterocladium heteropterum Schimp. exists (Len Ellis, pers. comment), the specimen with sporophytes collected by Spruce in 1845 (according to Spruce, 1849) at Bagnères-de-Bigorre in the Pyrenees as Musci Pyrenaici 56. This syntype represents the particular gathering from which Schimper drew the sporophyte description and illustrations of H. heteropterum and is here selected as lectotype of the name; the BM isolectotype is another Musci Pyrenaici 56 specimen.

In Bridel’s herbarium in B syntypes of Pterigynandrum heteropterum Brid. from all four localities mentioned in the protologue are extant (Bridel-Brideri, 1827), and from Mt. Hohack in the Vosges there are three specimens, thus in total six syntypes. Five of these syntypes, including those with spore capsules, belong to P. filiforme Hedw., in the Italian specimen mixed with Heterocladium dimorphum (Brid.) Schimp.

Among the specimens belonging to P. filiforme Hedw. one with sporophytes is selected as lectotype in order to choose a specimen that is as complete as possible as regards the presence of available characters. At present, there appears to be no consensus regarding how to treat the gametophytically relatively similar taxa Heterocladium heteropterum Schimp. and H. wulfsbergii I. Hagen. Even if most authors consider the two taxa as distinct species (e.g. Casas et al., 2006; Crundwell & Smith, 2000; Hedenäs, 1992; Hill et al., 2006; Nyholm, 1960; Smith, 2004), others treat H. wulfsbergii as a synonym of H. heteropterum (e.g. Dirkse, Bouman & Losada-Lima, 1993), or the two taxa are treated as varieties (e.g. Düll, 1992; Frey et al., 2006) or subspecies (Jensen, 1939) of H. heteropterum. The history of these taxa was recently reviewed and gametophytic characters that were considered useful for the separation at the species level were described (Crundwell & Smith, 2000). The various treatments of the taxa at levels below the species are probably due to the rather wide plasticity of the gametophyte combined with the fact that sporophytes are rarely observed (cf. Braithwaite, 1896– 1905; Frey et al., 2006). Most bryologists who saw sporophytes in either of these species appear to have seen them in at most one or two specimens, and often sporophyte descriptions found in the literature are second-hand. Examples of descriptions of H. heteropterum based on first-hand observations include the following. (1) Based on Spruce material collected in the Pyrenees, Schimper (in Bruch et al., 1851–1855) described and illustrated the capsules as orthogonal (for terminology, see Hedenäs, 2007) and described the peristome teeth as of the kind described for the genus, that is, reddish orange with paler distal parts. The description of the exostome colour is a bit strange, since the lectotype that Schimper could have seen has got a whitish exostome. (2) Braithwaite (1896–1905) described capsules with pale peristomes and stated that they are homotropous, but illustrated an almost orthogonal capsule. (3) Jensen (1939) described the capsules as orthogonal, and the exostome as pale. (4) Nyholm (1960) described the spore capsules as homotropous to orthogonal and illustrated homotropous to orthotropous ones. (5) Smith (2004) described the capsule as homotropous to orthogonal, and illustrated an orthotropous or almost orthotropous capsule. The last author also described the capsule of H. wulfsbergii, as homotropous to orthogonal. Studies of Heterocladium heteropterum and H. wulfsbergii in S, during collecting on Madeira, and of the original material of H. heteropterum and a specimen of H. wulfsbergii in herbarium Schimper in BM included four H. heteropterum specimens with capsules and eight H. wulfsbergii ones. Two of the latter were old and had no peristome left, and could only be used to study capsule orientation. This allowed a close comparison of the sporophytes of the two taxa and revealed some differences (Table 1, Fig. 1). The strikingly different exostome colours, Figure 1.

On the other hand, capsule orientation, and to some degree shape, is obviously very variable within both species and cannot be used as a reliable separating character.

(Jungermanniopsida: Lejeuneaceae) from Taiwan The Lejeuneaceae, with about 1000 species in about 90 genera, is the largest family of liverworts (Marchantiophyta) (Wilson et al., 2007) and the most dominant group of the epiphyllous flora (Gradstein, 1997; Zhu & So, 2001). Lejeunea Lib. is a predominantly pantropical genus. It is characterized by: (1) proximal hyaline papilla of the leaf lobule, (2) lack of brownish-black pigments in cell wall, (3) usually seven rows of larger cortical cells of the stem, (4) lejeuneoid leaf sequence of gynoecial innovations, (5) ocelli lacking, (6) 26 elaters per capsule with either seven or six elaters in opposite valves, in a ‘1z2z2z2’ or ‘2z2z2’ pattern in a valve, and (7) lack of specialized cladia. While compilation of an updated checklist of liverworts and hornworts of Taiwan, we found that Lejeunea ramulosa (Herzog) R.M.Schust. (Schuster, 1963), a poorly known species known only from the type from Taiwan (Herzog & Noguchi, 1955), is an illegitimate homonym. A new name is, therefore, proposed here.

Schwabe, no. ?, 1947’ (holotype: JE). 174 BRYOLOGICAL NOTES Illustrations: Herzog & Noguchi (1955, p.53, Fig. 15: e–h as Microlejeunea ramulosa). The species epithet is dedicated to the late Prof. Ming-Jou Lai (194922007) who was a bryologist and lichenologist in Taiwan. Owing to its minute size Lejeunea laii was placed originally in the genus Microlejeunea by Herzog and Noguchi (1955). Microlejeunea is a controversial genus which was treated as a subgenus of Lejeunea (Schuster, 1963). Some authors admitted generic rank to Microlejeunea, which is characterized by dioecy, the presence of basal ocelli in the leaf lobes, small size, stems with only three rows of medullary cells, and female bracts with long keels showing a tendency to develop wings (cf. Jones 1979; Grolle, 1995). But as in the typical members of Lejeunea, Microlejeunea ramulosa lacks ocelli in leaf lobes and wings at female bracts, and it also has larger leaves and over three rows of medullary cells of the stem. Microlejeunea ramulosa, thus, is no doubt a member of typical Lejeunea s. str. A new name, Lejeunea laii, is needed owing to existence of an earlier taxon with this name, Lejeunea ramulosa Spruce. As shown in Herzog & Noguchi (1955), Lejeunea laii is characterized by: (1) very small size (only 0.4 mm wide with leaves), (2) densely branched stems, (3) small underleaves with very narrow lobes, and (4) obtuse or rounded-obtuse apex of the leaf lobes. Lejeunea ramulosa Spruce, known from Brazil, Costa Rica and Ecuador (Dauphin 2005; Reiner-Drehwald, 1999, 2007), is immediately distinguished from Lejeunea laii by its dioecy, large underleaves 324 times as wide as stem, acute to acuminate apex of the leaf lobes, and more or less dentate keels of the perianth. In the autoicous sexuality, deeply bilobed underleaves, obovate perianths with five keels, and usually reduced leaf lobules, Lejeunea laii is very similar to depauperate plants of Lejeunea anisophylla Mont. common in Taiwan and tropical Asia as well as Oceania, but the latter differs in the rounded apex of leaf lobes, large trigones of leaf cells, and larger size of the plant. In its obtuse to obtuse-rounded apex of leaf lobes, small size and deeply bilobed underleaves, Lejeunea laii may be confused with Lejeunea cocoes Mitt., known from China, Indonesia (Java), Malaysia (Sarawak), and Papua New Guinea (cf. Zhu & So, 1999). The latter, however, is separated by its dioecy, strongly or slightly caducous leaves, and the presence of regenerants at the leaf margin. This research was sponsored by the National Natural Science Foundation of China (no. 30670155).

Revision accepted 7 April 2008 DOI: 10.1179/174328208X300642 Lejeuneaceae (Marchantiophyta) share an indel in chloroplast rps4 gene The Lejeuneaceae, with the estimated more than 1000 species and 91 genera, are the most diversified family of liverworts (Gradstein, Reiner-Drehwald ME & Schneider, 2003). Recent molecular studies using three (ITS2, trnL-F and rbcL, Ahonen, Muona & Piippo, 2003), two (rbcL and nad4, Wilson et al., 2004) and four (rbcL, psbA, trnL-F and ITS, Wilson et al., 2007a) loci, respectively, have demonstrated that the family is monophyletic. The chloroplast rps4 gene has been used widely for molecular phylogenetic studies of bryophytes. When BRYOLOGICAL NOTES analyzing an alignment of rps4 sequences for liverworts, we noticed an indel (insertion/deletion) shared by all taxa of Lejeuneaceae. A search of all liverworts rps4 sequences on GenBank, did not reveal this indel in any taxa outside the Lejeuneaceae. In order to test if the indel is a marker for the Lejeuneaceae, a data set containing 93 rps4 sequences from 91 liverwort genera was generated. All sequences were obtained from GenBank (accession numbers are listed in the Appendix); they mainly come from the following studies: Davis (2004), He-Nygrén et al. (2004), Forrest & Crandall-Stotler (2004), Forrest et al. (2005), de Roo et al. (2007), Hendry et al. (2007) and Liu et al. (in press). In our data set, 13 species and 11 genera of Lejeuneaceae were included. The sequence alignment was made using CLUSTAL X 1.83 (Thompson et al., 1997) and adjusted manually in BioEdit 5.0.9 (Hall, 1999). In order to detect whether this indel affects selection on the gene, nonsynonymous-synonymous substitution rate ratios (dN/dS) were calculated using codeml program of PAML v3.15 (Yang, 1997) for Lejeuneaceae, and also for other liverwort taxa. The rps4 data matrix included 618 sites. The indel is a 9base-pair (bp) deletion occurring in all members of Lejeuneaceae (Fig. 1). It is noteworthy that the deletion does not occur in Nipponolejeunea nor in Jubulaceae but was found in Bryopteris. Traditionally, Nipponolejeunea has been assigned to the Lejeuneaceae (Mizutani, 1961; Schuster, 1963; Gradstein, 1994, 2001; Crandall-Stotler & Stotler, 2000) based mainly on the basis of leaf morphology: the lobule attaches to the lobe along a long keel. Weis (2001) and Gradstein et al. (2003) described cladistic analyses based on morphological characters, and both authors recognized Nipponolejeunea as an early-diverging lineage of Lejeuneaceae. However recent molecular analyses (e.g. Ahonen et al., 2003; Davis, 2004; Ahonen, 2006; He-Nygrén et al., 2004, 2006; Wilson et al., 2004, 2007a; Heinrichs et al., 2005; Forrest et al., 2006) have all suggested this genus is more closely related to the Jubulaceae. In fact, more than 50 years ago, Mizutani (1961) placed Nipponolejeunea close to Jubula based on morphological characters such as red alar cells in the capsule wall and one or two archegonia per perianth. CrandallStotler and Guerke (1980) also indicated that Nipponolejeunea appears to have a typical Lejeunea-type lobule as in the Lejeuneaceae , but is only attached to the stem narrowly. Bryopteris (Nees) Lindenb. was placed in its own family (Bryopteridaceae) by Stotler & Crandall-Stotler (1974) and Crandall-Stotler & Stotler (2000) because of its unique branching type. However molecular (Ahonen et al., 2003; Davis, 2004; He-Nygrén et al., 2004, 2006; Wilson et al., 2004, 2007a; Heinrichs et al., 2005; Forrest et al., 2006) and morphological cladistic studies (Weis, 2001; Gradstein et al., 2003) both resolve Bryopteris as a member of Lejeuneaceae. The distribution of the 9 bp indel provides support for the view that Bryopteris is a member of the Lejeuneaceae, but Nipponolejeunea shares a more recent common ancestor with genera in the Jubulaceae rather than the Lejeuneaceae. 175 Figure 1. The portion of the aligned matrix of rps4 showing the unique indel shared by Lejeuneaceae. Dots indicate nucleotides identical to the top sequence, and dashes indicate gaps. The codon grouping shown is the correct reading frame. rps4 is a chloroplast gene located in the large single copy region of the chloroplast genome. It encodes the chloroplast ribosomal protein S4, which is one of the primary rRNA binding proteins (Harris et al., 1994). As the deletion in Lejeuneaceae rps4 gene dose not cause a frame shift of 176 BRYOLOGICAL NOTES codon reading frames, no functional influence is expected. The analyses of synonymous and non-synonmous substitutions in the rps4 gene suggests that there is no obvious difference in substitution patterns between Lejeuneaceae (dN/dS50.07) and other liverwort taxa (dN/dS50.08). It appears that evolutionary constraints on the rps4 gene are not relazed in the Lejeuneaceae. Molecular approaches known as ‘DNA barcoding’ (Tautz et al., 2002; Pennisi, 2003; Hajibabaei et al., 2006) are helping to identify species and classify taxa. The exclusive indel found in the Lejeuneaceae maybe can be used to help identifying members of this large family. The lineages of this species-rich family appear to have accumulated more or less constantly through the Tertiary (Wilson et al., 2007b). Whether all members of this monophyletic group possess the indel, or if the indel occurs in other liverworts remains unknown. More rps4 sequences are needed for taxa in the Lejeaneaceae and other families. APPENDIX rps4 sequences used in this study and their Genbank accession numbers.
