Diagnosis and illustrations are given for Braunia plicata (Mitt.) A. Jaeger., and lectotypes for two names are designated. One of Bridges specimens (Bridges s. n.) located at BM hb-Hooker is the lectotype for B. plicata. A duplicate of Pringle 15171 at P hb-Cardot is the lectotype for B. plicata var canescens Card. This name is retained as synonym of B. plicata. The worldwide distribution of the species is documented in Bolivia, Peru, and Mexico.

The selection of a specimen collected by Bridges from Bolivia in 1846 as lectotype for B. plicata conforms strictly to the species concept in the original description (Mitten 1869). The original description of Hedwigia plicata in Mitten (1869) reads: ���Folia erecto-patentia, imbricata, latissime ovalia, concava, cuspide brevi interdum albescente terminata, quater plicata, margine late reflexo apice serrulato, ��� ���. These leaf features constitute the core of the species concept of B. plicata, as recognized here. Only the plants in Bridges specimens display leaves widely ovate, leaf acumen hyaline, and leaf margin at apex serrulate to dentate (Fig. 1). I have seen four specimens of the Bridges collection. There are two duplicates at BM (Bridges s. n. BM-herb. Hooker; Bridges s. n. BM-herb. Wilson) and two duplicates at NY (Bridges s. n. NY-herb. Mitten). These two specimens at NY consist of only few stems glued on a card (bc.NY00913932, bc.NY00913953). The specimen at BM-herb Hooker (bc.BM000960770) is selected here as lectotype (Fig. 1), because the type citation makes clear reference to a particular specimen as follows: ���In Bolivia, Bridges in herb. Hooker���. Nomenclatural note 2. Mitten (1869) cited jointly in the protologue of B. plicata a specimen from Ecuador as ���Andes quitenses, Jameson ���. This syntype is difficult to discern among several specimens collected by Jameson, due to incomplete collection data. Two duplicates at NY-herb. Mitten with herbarium labels ���Andes Quitensis, Jameson s.n.���, no year, are very likely this syntype (bc.NY0001244170, bc.NY0001244171). Plants in these Jameson specimens do not display the features of B. plicata, such as obovate leaves, revolute leaf margins, hyaline leaf acumens, and dentate leaf apices. Instead, these Jameson syntypes have the features of B. cirrhifolia, namely, leaves are long ovate lanceolate, leaf margins reflexed at the base, leaf acumens are concolorous, and the leaf apex is entire (Fig. 2). Also, the upper leaf cells are long and sinuous, just like in B. cirrhifolia (Fig. 3). Additionally, I have seen the following Jameson specimens from Ecuador, which are also B. cirrhifolia (ordered chronologically): Quito, Jameson 135, 1845 (BM!-herb. Wilson, BM!-herb. Hooker, G!), Jameson s.n., 1846 (BM!- herb. Wilson, BM!-herb. Hooker, BM!-herb. Dixon), Jameson s.n., 1847 (BM!- herb. Dixon), Jameson 1, 1847 (BM!-herb. Hooker, BR!, MICH!, NY!), Jameson 25, 1847 (BM!-herb. Lyon), Jameson s.n., 1848 (G!), and Jameson s.n. 1851 (G!). Moreover, there are images online of a specimen at P (bc.PC0701220) labeled ��� Jameson s.n. Quito, Mitten Herbarium, NYBG���. This specimen is very likely B. cirrhifolia since it consists of one very large stem (over 4 cm long), leaves with long concolorous acumens, and sporophytes with a very long seta (2 cm). In conclusion, all Jameson specimens I have seen actually correspond to B. cirrhifolia. Therefore, the Jameson syntype cited in the protologue cannot possibly be selected as lectotype for B. plicata. The identity of the syntype ���Andes Quitensis, Jameson s.n., no year, NY!-herb. Mitten (bc.NY01244170, bc.NY01244171) is Braunia cirrhifolia. Nomenclatural note 3. Cardot (1911) cited two specimens in the description of B. plicata var canescens: Pringle 15171 and Pringle 10627. I have seen several duplicates of both collections. The specimen Pringle 10627 should not be considered as lectotype since most duplicates consist of mixtures of different Braunia species (see Nomenclatural note 4). Only the selection of Pringle 15171 (P-herb. Cardot) as the lectotype preserves the identity of this taxon without confusion. The duplicates Pringle 15171 at NY! and S! are good isolectotypes. But the specimen of Pringle 15171 at FH contains mostly plants of B. andrieuxii, which I separated in an envelope with a note. Nomenclatural note 4. The syntype specimen Pringle 10627 of B. plicata var canescens is problematic since most duplicates consist of mixtures of up to three species: B. plicata, B. andrieuxii, and B. secunda. Notably, Th��riot (1926) had already warned that not all duplicates of Pringle 10627 were really B. plicata var canescens. Only seven duplicates of Pringle 10627 (BM!, H!, JE!, MO!, NY! [bc.00792521], S!, US!) are authentic B. plicata. But I have seen other eight duplicates, which are misidentified; five specimens (FH!, G!, NSW!, S!, B!) are B. andrieuxii, and the other three duplicates (MICH!, NY!, JE! [bc.JE04000338]) are B. secunda. Additionally, one of the duplicates of Pringle 10627 at P (bc.PC0147304) is certainly not genuine B. plicata. The images available at the MNHN web site show leaf features that correspond most likely to B. andrieuxi. The images online in the same web site for two other duplicates (bc.PC0701217, bc.PC0701218) show plants, with hyaline leaf apices, which are likely B. plicata. Plants in dense mats; main stems sympodial, plagiotropic, 3���(4���5)��� 7 cm long, closely branched; branches elongated, ending in obtuse, rosulate tips; flagelliform branches common; pseudoparaphylia foliose, with papillose cells. Leaves ovate or broadly ovate, 1.9���2.2 mm long, 0.8���1.1 mm wide, concave, imbricate, spreading when moist, strongly plicate; margins recurved to acumen; high base, widest point at or above middle of leaf; apex cuspidate, hyaline, margins sharply dentate; apical leaf cells homogeneous, elongated, narrow elliptic (5���7:1), 18���28 ��m long, not sinuose, with marginal papillae; upper and median leaf cells 14���18 ��m long, sub-quadrate to short elliptic (2:1), walls sinuose, papillae 2-3, low, on side walls, overarching lumen. Autoicous. Archegonia medial on short vaginula (1.4���1.6 mm); perichaetial leaves narrow lanceolate, 2.4���2.9 mm long, less than twice the length of vegetative leaves, covering 1 mm of seta, acuminate, plicate, perichaetial paraphyses biseriate at base, immersed. Setae 7 (9���10) 12 mm long; capsule exserted, necks 0.3���0.4 mm, broad, gradually attenuated, urns 1.7���2.5 mm long, narrowly elliptic, mouth narrow, nearly 1/2 as wide as urn, capsule walls smooth, exothecial cells rectangular; stomates superficial; opercula base conical, short oblique rostrate. Calyptrae cucullate, large. Spores 29���31 ��m in diameter. Habitat. Commonly grows on trees, but also colonizes andesitic rocks in exposed habitats and within forests at middle to high elevations (1500���2700 m). Distribution. Bolivia, Peru, Mexico.

Tlacuapanga, Sharp 433 (MICH!); cerca de Villareal, al NE de Huamantla, De Luna 2646 (XAL!), 2718 (XAL!), 2720 (XAL!). Discussion. This is strictly the species concept from that of Mitten (1869). Morphological characters distinguishing B. plicata are the leaves imbricate, strongly plicate, and concave (Fig. 1C). The leaf apex is cuspidate, hyaline, and dentate (Figs. 1D, 4A���C, 4I���J). Shoots are often dark-green to brownish, especially darker green along the leaf plications, which contrasts sharply with the hyaline leaf acumens (Fig. 1A���C). Braunia plicata is mostly montane Andean. Among the South American species with hyaline leaf acumens, the dentate apex and the narrowly elongated apical cells (Figs. 1A, 4H) separate B. plicata from B. incana, B. canescens and B. subincana. The following key is proposed to help in distinguishing B. plicata from the other three species with hyaline apices., Published as part of Luna, Efra��n De, 2022, Lectotypification, taxonomy and distribution of Braunia plicata (Bryopsida, Hedwigiaceae) in South America and Mexico, pp. 101-106 in Phytotaxa 532 (1) on pages 102-106, DOI: 10.11646/phytotaxa.532.1.9, http://zenodo.org/record/5900972, {"references":["Mitten, W.

NOTES Forsstroemia producta is widespread in southeast Africa and Stark (1987) reported it from Ethiopia, Kenya, Malawi, Rwanda, South Africa, Tanzania, and Uganda. In addition, Müller (1995) reported it from the Democratic Republic of the Congo. Its presence in Madagascar is not surprising considering that it also occurs in North and South America, Australia, and Asia. The single Malagasy specimen we have seen was previously determined as Cryphaea F.Weber and then Braunia Bruch & Schimp. Both genera are perhaps superficially similar but the collection in question possesses sporophytes, the form of which clearly rule out either of those possibilities., Published as part of Brinda, John C., He, Si, Atwood, John J., Magill, Robert E. & Reeb, Catherine, 2021, Notes on the bryophytes of Madagascar 5: new records from old collections, pp. 205-211 in Cryptogamie, Bryologie 20 (15) on page 207, DOI: 10.5252/cryptogamie-bryologie2021v42a15, {"references":["STARK L.

Bruch & Schimp. – the name they were originally distributed under (det. M. Onraedt). However, we recently redetermined the specimens as Braunia imberbis while examining the duplicates housed at MO. Two of the MO specimens were in fact already annotated by M. Crosby in 1974 as Hedwigidium integrifolium (P.Beauv.) Dixon, a name that has until recently been misapplied to this species (see Dalton et al. 2012). As pointed out by De Luna (2016) and others previously (cited therein), when confronted with non-reproductive material the separation of Braunia imberbis from Braunia secunda is rather difficult. The Malagasy specimens do not possess capsules; however, we found the region of strongly porose and elongate basal leaf cells to be consistently larger and more conspicuous in Braunia imberbis. This was easier to discern when the material was wetted with a 2% KOH solution, which usually stains this area bright red. Based on these findings Braunia secunda is excluded from the Malagasy flora and replaced by Braunia imberbis.

A bryological study on Corsican wetlands near the Col de Verde, and several surveys of the bryoflora in different regions conducted between 2008 and 2014, allowed to collect rare, uncommon and new species for the island. We report about Barbilophozia attenuate (Mart.) Loeske, Jamesoniella autumnalis (DC.) Steph. (hepatics), Hygroamblystegium tenax (Hedw.) Jenn. and Thamnobryum alopecurum var. gracillimum (Bot.) Dull (mosses), all new for the island. In addition, new localities are added for 5 hepatics and 20 mosses that are rare or uncommon in Corsica. Including these new discoveries, the island's bryoflora now comprises 3 hornworts, 156 liverworts and 419 mosses, for a total of 578 species.

Seven taxa reported here as new for Madagascar were found among the specimens stored in TAN. These findings illustrate the interest of this sort of initiative, the potential richness of the unstudied material in herbaria, and the necessity of exploring regions that are bryologically poorly known within Madagascar.

An update of the “Catalogue of the Hedwig-Schwägrichen Herbarium (Part 1)” of 2005 has been compiled herein. It collates the 38 recently published typifications for the Hedwig moss names and includes updated information on 12 typifications that were unintentionally omitted or incorrectly cited in the original catalogue. Information on the place and page of publication of each typification as well as the details of the types themselves is given for each name concerned. Given the complexities of the typification process of the Hedwig material (for example, the historical nature of the material, presence of different entities with different temporal or geographic origins on the type sheet, two or more species attached to the same sheet, the presence of Schwägrichen's annotations, labels that do not correspond exactly with the protologue or validating description) the correct citation of the G-Hedwig herbarium sheet and of the elements on it being typified are of crucial importance. To facilitate the unequivocal identification of the Hedwig specimens in G a list of the barcodes assigned to each of the Hedwig herbarium sheets figured in the original catalogue is provided.

One of the most significant bryophyte collections from Paraguay is that of the Frenchman Benedict (Benjamin) Balansa. His collections were distributed to, amongst other institutions, B, BM, G, H-BR, L, NY and PC. In Geneva, Balansa collections can be found in the historical herbaria of Boissier, Reuter-Barbey, Barbey-Boissier and the non G-DC De Candolle collection which were all incorporated into the municipal herbarium (G) of the Conservatoire et Jardin botaniques de la Ville de Genève. The French bryologist Emile Bescherelle worked on the majority of the Balansa moss collections from Paraguay, describing 73 new species from amongst this material. With the purchase of Bescherelle's herbarium by the BM, Balansa's original Paraguay specimens came to reside there. A total of 390 specimens are present in G for 158 Balansa collection numbers, including 22 specimens for 15 previously unpublished Balansa numbers. The 158 collection numbers and 390 specimens in G cover 88 specific and infraspecific names that represent 67 currently accepted taxa and eight nomina nuda. Of the 390 specimens, 160 are types including 3 lectotypes, 28 isolectotypes, 19 isotypes and 110 syntypes. For each taxonomic entry, the place of publication, the collection number, current name, and for the types the type status and typification, if found, are provided. A complete list of the published Balansa collection numbers for the Paraguay mosses, including their current name, the name under which they were published and the place of publication, is also given herein.
