Its presence in Syriarequires confirmation.[371] Funaria dentata var. longifolia Jelenc nom. nud. was reported from Tunisia but itsidentity has not been revised since. If it merits recognition, then a new combinationunder Entosthodon muhlenbergii may be required.[372] Gymnostomum viridulum subsp. saharae Pócs was described from Tunisia by Pócs(2007).[373] Oxyrrhynchium hians var. vulgare (Boulay) Podp. was reported from Tunisia, but itsidentity has not been revised since.[374] Mnium punctatum f. brevinervium Jelenc was described from Tunisia, but its identityhas not been revised since.
