Checklist of the mosses of sub-Saharan Africa

Mniobryum wahlenbergii (Web. & Mohr) Jenn.
MAU(105).
Mnium punctatum (Schreb.) Hedw. = Rhizomnium
punctatum. Excluded. According to Koponen
(1036), this taxon is not known from sub-Saharan
Africa.
Mnium rostratum (Schrad.) Schwaegr. = Plagiomnium
rostratum (1036) (= P. rhynchophorum).
Moenkemeyera diaphanodonta P.Varde = Fissidens
diaphanodontus (46).
Moenkemeyera etessei Broth. & Par. = Fissidens
fouta-djalloni (76) (= F. gardneri).
Moenkemeyera flexipes P.Varde = F. parkii (72).
Moenkemeyera hians (Hampe) C.Müll. See Fissidens
hians (Hampe)Par. It is likely that these two
taxa, described in successive years are homotypic,
based on a collection made by Rabenhorst near
Lagos. (Bruggeman-Nannenga, pers. comm.)
Moenkemeyera konkourae (Par. & Broth.) P.Varde =
Fissidens microcarpus (73).
Moenkemeyera macrocarpa Broth. & Par. = Fissidens
parkii (72).
Moenkemeyera macroglossa Broth. = Fissidens mac-
roglossus (1458 (fide Bruggeman-Nannenga)).
Moenkemeyera macroglossoides Broth.
CAM(47).
Moenkemeyera mirabilis C.Müll. = F. parkii (72).
Moenkemeyera scleromitria (Besch.) P.Varde = F.
scleromitrius (65).
Moenkemeyera subsphaerocarpa P.Varde = Fissidens
microcarpus (73).
Molendoa sendtneriana (BS&G) Limpr. SOM(50).
Molendoa sublaevis Demar. & P.Varde ZAI(65).
Nanobryum dummeri Dix. CBS(1531), NAT(1531).
Nanobryum gladiolum (Mitt.) Biz. = Fissidens gla-
diolus (46).
Neckera ascensionis Besch. = Himantocladium as-
censionis (1521).
Neckera complanata var. maxima Dix. KEN(46).
Neckera ehrenbergii C.Müll. = N. remota (1521).
Neckera extans Besch. = Neckeropsis disticha (286).
Neckera hedbergii P.Varde UGA(46).
Neckera hedbergii P.Varde. De Sloover (286) states
that without sporophytes, it is impossible to
assign this taxon to a species, but suggests that it
might be a synonym of N. remota.
Neckera hoehneliana C.Müll. ERI(50), KEN(46).
Neckera homoclada C.Müll. in Par., nom. nud.
ETH(50).
Neckera intermedia Brid. CAP(1296).
Neckera nelloi Broth. ex Broth. & Tong ERI(50).
Neckera nelloi Broth. ex Broth. & Tong. De Sloover
(286) suggests that this taxon is probably a
synonym of N. remota.
Neckera occidentalis Besch. = Neckeropsis disticha
(286).
Neckera pennata Hedw. FER(47), ZIM(61).
Neckera pennata Hedw. De Sloover (286) states that
is likely that the identifications of the above
specimens are in error.
Neckera pertruncata Card. = Neckeropsis lepineana
(1848).
Neckera platyantha (C.Müll.) Par. BUR(65),
KEN(46), RWA(65,46), TAN(46), UGA(46),
ZAI(65).
Neckera remota Bruch & Schimp. ex C.Müll.
BUR(65), CAM(47), DJI(50), ERI(50), ETH(50),
KEN(46), MAD(40), RWA(65), TAN(46),
UGA(46), ZAI(65).
Neckera submacrocarpa Dix. KEN(46,136),
RWA(65), TAN(46), UGA(46), ZAI(65).
Neckera subremota C.Müll. ex Dus. = N. remota (46).
Neckera valentiniana Besch. CBS(1531),
MAD(40), NAT(1531), REU(105), TRV(1531),
ZAI(65).
Neckera valentiniana Besch. De Sloover (286) states
that the records of this plant for ‘central Africa’
are in error.
Neckeropsis afrovictoriae (Dus.) Fleisch. = N. foveolata
(787).
Neckeropsis angustiretis Dix. ex Tosco & Piovano,
nom. nud. Excluded. Enroth (787) states that
not only has this taxon no description, there are
no records of Neckeropsis for Kenya (the reputed
origin of the specimen), and it is thus a doubtful
record. In addition, Tosco & Piovano (407) state
that although Dixon must have seen a specimen,
there is now only an empty folder, and the
specimen is missing.
Neckeropsis bequaerti Thér. & Nav. = N. madecassa
(787).
Neckeropsis boiviniana (Besch.) Card. MAD(40).
Neckeropsis disticha (Hedw.) Kindb. BUR(65),
CAM(47), CAR(47), COM(40), CON(47),
FER(47), GAB(47), GHA(47), IVO(787,1880),
LIB(787,108), NIG(787), PRI(787),
TOG(58,1878), UGA(46), ZAI(65).
Neckeropsis foveolata (Mitt.) Broth. ex Par.
