NOTES ON THE TAXA PREVIOUSLY CLASSIFIED IN THE GENUS TRISMEGISTIA (SEMATOPHYLLACEAE)

Abstract

  Taxon once recognized as a member of the genus Trismegistia was revised on the basis of critical re-examination of type and other materials. Four new combinations, Mastopoma deningeri (Herzog) H.Akiyama, Mastopoma pulchellum (Herzog) H.Akiyama, Rhaphidorrhynchium breviflagellosum (Müll.Hal.) H.Akiyama, and Wijkia monodii (P. de la Varde) H.Akiyama, are proposed. Inter-relationships among Trismegistia and other closely related genera are discussed and artificial keys to these genera are provided.
