    Bryoerythrophyllum sollmanianum (Pottiaceae), a new moss species from the Sino-Himalayan region
    (The American Bryological and Lichenological Society, 2019-07-12) Shevock, James; Cano Bernabé, María Jesús; Jiménez Fernández, Juan Antonio; Biología Vegetal
    Bryoerythrophyllum sollmanianum J.A.Jiménez, M.J.Cano & Shevock is described and illustrated as a new species from the Sino-Himalayan region of China, Nepal and India. The species is corticolous, and easily distinguished from all its congeners in having stems with cluster of deciduous flagellate branchlets. Additionally, it is characterized by its lingulate leaves with apiculate apices, plane and regularly dentate margins above midleaf, costa ending below the apex, papillose basal cells that are not differentiated from the upper cells, and a rudimentary peristome. Its distinction from, and relationships with, similar species within the genus are discussed. Distribution of the new species is mapped.

    Didymodon buckii (Pottiaceae), a new moss species from the Neotropics
    (BioOne Digital Library, 2018-11-16) Alonso García, Marta; Cano Bernabé, María Jesús; Jiménez Fernández, Juan Antonio; Biología Vegetal
    Didymodon buckii J.A.Jiménez & M.J.Cano is described as a new species from central Peru and northwestern Argentina. It is readily distinguished from all congeners by having bistratose to tetrastratose leaf margins from the apex to near the base and long-cylindric, thickened and deciduous leaf apices that are strongly channeled ventrally. Additionally, the new moss is characterized by its linear-oblong leaves, papillose distal laminal cells, and costa with a hyaline area of rectangular cells on the distal ventral surface and with ventral stereids below midleaf. Drawings and light microscope photographs of the main characters are given, and possible confusion with other closely related taxa is discussed. Distribution of the new species is mapped.
