HOLOMITRIUM TRICHOPODUM (BRYOPHYTA, DICRANACEAE), A HOLOMITRIUM WITH SPLIT PERISTOME TEETH FROM AUSTRALIA AND NEW ZEALAND

Abstract

  Results of cladistic analyses of both ITS and trnL-trnF sequences, as well as peristome structure, suggest that the species currently recognised as Dicranoloma trichopodum (Mitt.) Broth. is affiliated to Holomitrium. A new combination, Holomitrium trichopodum (Mitt.) Klazenga, is proposed.
