Pohlia sp. ETH(50)
Webera cavifolia Bruch. & Schimp (in sched.) ex Par.,
nom. nud. This taxon cannot be usefully
transferred to its correct genus (Pohlia) without
its status being investigated. Paris mentions a
specific collection of Schimper [459], which it
was not possible to locate at BM. If it is likely
that a specimen exists, this taxon should remain
here until described or synonymised.
Pohlia sp. ETH(50)
Webera philibertii Par., nom. nud. This taxon is listed
by Paris, but a specific collection is not mentioned.
Until its status is confimed, this taxon cannot be
transferred to Pohlia, or synonymised with
another taxon. If a specimen is not found, it
should be excluded.
