Open full text 2 citations

Abstract

The taxonomic position of Isopterygium limatum (Hook.f.& Wilson) Broth, has been re¬ evaluated.Some morphological characters, such as cylindric capsules, conic and non-rostrate opercula, well-differentiated annuli, pseudoparaphyllia shape, and axillary, papillose rhizoids suggest that the species should be excluded from the genus Isopterygium.A new genus, Austrohondaella Z.lwats., H.P.Ramsay & Fife is therefore described here for Isopterygium limatum.This new genus should be classified in the family Hypnaceae.
