A SYNOPTIC REVIEW OF PHILIPPINE SEMATOPHYLLACEAE WITH EMPHASIS ON CLASTOBRYOIDEAE AND HETEROPHYLLOIDEAE (MUSCI)

Abstract

  Members of the Philippine Sematophyllaceae were revised. As a result, six new records are reported for the country: Clastobryophilum bogoricum, Clastobryum caudatum, C. conspicuum, C. scalare, Gammiella ceylonensis, and Heterophyllium affine. Hageniella pacifica is found new to Borneo based on a BRYOTROP collection. Five new synonyms and one new combination are proposed. Lectotypes are selected for Aptychella yunnanensis Broth., Clastobryella tenerrima Broth. and Hageniella pacifica Broth. New groupings of genera belonging to the four subfamilies are also attempted.
