Bryological Monograph An annotated checklist of the mosses of ...

39. The poorly known Macaronesian endemic Funaria
fritzei is treated by Losada-Lima, Dirkse &
Rodríguez-Núñez (2001) as a synonym of
Entosthodon krausei. It needs further elucidation.
40. Entosthodon schimperi Brugués is a new name for
the moss described by Schimper as Funaria durieui.
The epithet durieui is not available in Entosthodon.
The species has been found in Portugal, Spain and
the Canary Islands (Brugués, Dirkse & Sérgio,
2001).
41. Entosthodon mouretii was reported from Spain by
Brugués et al. (1999).
42. Funaria maireana Copp., from Greece, is too poorly
known to be included in the checklist. F. anomala Jur.
and Funaria handelii Schiffn. (Entosthodon handelii
(Schiffn.) Laz.) are listed for Turkey by Kürschner &
Erdag˘ (2005).
43. Goffinet & Buck (2004) placed Goniomitrium in
Pottiales on the basis of a molecular study by
Goffinet & Cox (2000). However, the following
morphological features favour Funariales: laminal
cells smooth, large and thin-walled; stomata with
simple guard cells; calyptra mitriform.
44. Fife & Seppelt (2001) expressed doubts about the
distinctness of Goniomitrium seroi from the Australian
G. acuminatum Hook. & Wilson. A fuller study of
Australian and Spanish material is required before
these two species can be treated as synonyms.
45. Physcomitrium eurystomum subsp. acuminatum is
treated as a species in the Polish checklist (Ochyra
et al., 2003) but as a synonym of subsp. eurystomum in
the alpine countries from which it was described.
46. For synonymy of Pyramidula tetragona see Brugués,
Casas & Belmonte (1998).
47. For synonymy of Oedipodiella australis see Brugués
(2003).
48. Bryoxiphium madeirense was described from Madeira
by Löve & Löve (1953) but ignored by Corley et al.
(1981) and Corley & Crundwell (1991). It is listed by
Eggers (1982), Düll (1992) and Dierssen (2001).
49. Coscinodon humilis was described from Europe, but
largely ignored by European authors although recognized
in Japan; European plants lack capsules
(Greven, 1995).
50. For typification of Grimmia alpestris, see Muñoz
(1997).
51. According to Maier (2002a), Grimmia limprichtii is a
synonym of G. tergestina. However, Greven (2000)
treats it as distinct.
52. Grimmia donniana var. curvula is homotypic with G.
arenaria.
53. Grimmia capillata, originally described from Sardinia,
was generally treated as a variety of G. crinita during
the 20th century. Both Greven (1995) and Muñoz &
Pando (2000) recognize it at species rank.
54. Grimmia curviseta was described from Tenerife by
Bouman (1991).
MOSSES OF EUROPE AND MACARONESIA 229
55. Grimmia dissimulata was described from Cyprus by
Maier (2002b), who also listed localities from Turkey,
Syria and southern and western Europe.
56. Dryptodon incurvus is homotypic with Grimmia elatior.
57. Grimmia funalis var. calvescens is homotypic with G.
funalis f. epilifera J.E.Zetterst., a heterotypic synonym
of G. funalis.
58. Although the name Grimmia retracta remains to be
typified, it is now treated as a synonym of G. lisae by
Smith (2004).
59. Grimmia muehlenbeckii and G. poecilostoma were
included by Corley et al. (1981) in G. trichophylla
and G. tergestina, respectively. Both Greven (1995)
and Muñoz & Pando (2000) recognize them as species.
60. Grimmia pulvinata var. obtusa is homotypic with G.
pulvinata var. africana.
61. The identity of Grimmia reflexidens, which was
described from Chile, is controversial; Maier (2002a)
and Ochyra (2004b) treat it as a species of Coscinodon.
62. Grimmia grisea has been reported from Iceland by
Greven (1998). This taxon was originally described
from South Georgia (Cardot, 1906) after materials
collected by Skottsberg. There are no original
materials at PC, and all the available syntypes at S
(Skottsberg original herbarium) and H-BR are conspecific
with G. reflexidens.
63. Grimmia subsulcata was considered a synonym of G.
reflexidens by Muñoz (1998), although he later
realized (Muñoz & Pando, 2000) that this typification
was in error (the name is homotypic with G. alpestris
var. microstoma Bruch & Schimp.). No type of the
latter name could be found in BM (original
Schimper’s herbarium) or any of the many herbaria
to which materials were requested. Pending further
developments the name is tentatively maintained
under G. reflexidens.
64. The status of Grimmia crassifolia is controversial.
There are no capsules in the holotype, and thus it is
impossible to decide if it belongs to G. poecilostoma or
G. tergestina. Muñoz (1999) considered it a synonym
of G. poecilostoma, but in a more recent paper it was
placed under G. tergestina (Ignatova & Muñoz, 2005).
65. Grimmia austrofunalis is an Australasian and South
American taxon that does not grow in Europe. It is
characterized by large gemmae (100–200 mm) formed
on short stalks arising at dorsal costa base, whose
liberation does not cause any damage to the leaves.
Other characters, such as very large size for the genus
(up to 8 cm) and shiny leaves, are more variable
(Muñoz, 1999).
66. The name Grimmia britannica, now treated by Smith
(2004) as a form of G. trichophylla, is a new name for
G. robusta Braithw., a later homonym for G. robusta
Nees & Hornsch. (? Schistidium robustum (Nees &
Hornsch.) H.H.Blom) and thus illegitimate. When
Braithwaite (1872) published his new species, he
mentioned four syntypes from different Scotland
