NOTES ON PHILONOTIS (MUSCI, BARTRAMIACEAE). 3. A SYNOPSIS OF THE GENUS IN CHINA

Abstract

  Although total of 16 species of the genus Philonotis Brid. are accepted for China, Chinese specimens of 5 of them have not yet been seen. Philonotis sect. Philonotis has P. fontana (Hedw.) Brid., P. calcarea (B.S.G.) Schimp., P. seriata Mitt., and P. yezoana Besch. & Card., Philonotis sect. Philonotula (B.S.G.) Jaeg. has Philonotis falcala (W. J. Hook.) Mitt., P. hastata (Duby) Wijk & Marg., P. lancifolia Mitt., P. marchica (Hedw.) Brid., P. mollis (Dozy & Molk.) Mitt., P. runcinata C. Müll. ex Aongstroem, P. secunda (Dozy & Molk.) Bosch & Sande Lac., P. thwaitesii Mitt., and P. turneriana (Schwaegr.) Mitt., and Philonolis sect. Bartramidula (Bruch & Schimp. in B.S.G.) Mitt. has Philonotis bartramioides (Griff.) Griffin & Buck, P. cernua (Wils.) Griffin & Buck, and P. roylei (Hook. f. in Hook.) Mitt. in China.

  Philonotis runcinata is newly recorded for China. P. capilliformis J.-S. Lou & P.-C. Wu, Philonotis palustris Mitt., P. plumulosa Card. & Thér., and P. setschuanica var. formosica Card. are synonymized with P. falcata; P. papillalomarginata J.-S. Lou & P.-C. Wu with P. hastata; P. appressifolia Dix. with P. thwaitesii; and Bartramia setschuanica C. Muell. (= Philonotis setschuanica (C. Muell.) Par.), Bartramia speciosa Gritf. (= Philonotis speciosa (Griff.) Mitt.), Phifonotis nitida Mitt., P. speciosa var. angustifolia Kab. and P. turneriana var. nitida Kab. with P. turneriana (Schwaegr.) Mitt. P. turneriana var. robusta E. B. Bartr. is a synonym of Fleischerobryum macrophyllum Broth. P. glomerata Mitt. and P. radicalis (Hampe) Mitt., and Philonotis socia Mitt. forma minulissima Kab. are excluded from the Philonotis flora of China, and the presence of P. cernua (Wils.) Griffin & Buck is doubtful. P. sikkimense (Kab.) T. Kop. is a new combination. Lectotypes are selected for Bartramia setschuanica C. Muell., Philonotis nitida Mitt., P. setschuanica var. formosica Card., and P. turneriana var. nitida Kab. Notes are given on the nomenclature, taxonomy and distribution.
