This taxon has not been reported elsewhere in Asia, and indeed the genus is only known definitely in Asia from a record of A. aurescens (Dixon) Z.Iwats. from Mt. Kinabulu, Sabah, Borneo. As all three Sri Lankan collections were from well-known sites, and it is a distinctive taxon, it is likely that it is also present on this list under another name. Anoectangium euchloron (Schwaegr.) Mitt. = Anoectangium aestivum (6372) Anomobryum filiforme (Dicks.) Husn. = Anomobryum julaceum (71) Anomobryum filiforme var. concinnatum (Spruce) J.J.Amann = Anomobryum julaceum var. concinnatum (71) Anomodon filiformis Thwaites & Mitt. = Anomodon pseudotristis (4464) Aongstroemia pomiformis Müll.Hal. = Microdus brasiliensis (1521) (= Leptotrichella brasiliensis) Aptychella heteroclada (M.Fleisch.)

M.Fleisch. = Barbella trichophora (6423) (= Barbellopsis trichophora) Barbella javanica (Bosch & Sande Lac.) Broth. = Barbella convolvens (2588) Barbella phyllogonioides (A.Jaeger) Broth. = Pilotrichella phyllogonioides (2588) Barbella rufifolia (Thwaites & Mitt.) Broth. Noguchi (2588) says that the type specimen of this species was not found in the Mitten herbarium, and thus not examined by him, and he saw no collections bearing this name. Its taxonomic status is thus uncertain. Barbella trichophora (Mont.) M.Fleisch ex Broth. = Barbellopsis trichophora (4252) Barbula angustifolia (Hook. & Grev.) Müll.Hal. = Barbula tenuirostris (1521) Barbula consanguinea (Thwaites & Mitt.)

Bosch. & Sande Lac. = Mesonodon flavescens (715) Campylopodium euphorocladum (Müll.Hal.) Besch. = Campylopodium medium (506). See note under C. medium: probably a Dicranella species. Campylopodium khasianum (Griff.) Paris = Microcampylopus khasianus (506) Campylopodium medium (Duby) Giese & J.-P.Frahm. It is suggested by Giese & Frahm 1985 (506) than the Sri Lankan records for this taxon are probably misidentified species of Dicranella. Campylopus aureus Bosch & Sande Lac. = Campylopus schmidii (1751) Campylopus blumei (Dozy & Molk.) Bosch & Sande Lac. = Campylopus umbellatus (1751) Campylopus caudatus (Müll.Hal.)

All specimens examined by Frahm (2766) were Campylopus umbellatus var. pterotoneuron, and he suggests that its occurrence on Sri Lanka is doubtful. Campylopus fragilis var. goughii (Mitt.) J.-P.Frahm = Campylopus zollingerianus [1751] Campylopus goughii (Mitt.) A.Jaeger = Campylopus zollingerianus (1751) Campylopus herzogii Broth. = Campylopus schmidii (1751) Campylopus introflexus (Hedw.) Brid. All Sri Lanka collections with this name belong to Campylopus pilifer (Frahm 1984 (2766)) Campylopus laetus (Mitt.) A.Jaeger = Campylopus savannarum (1751) Campylopus latinervis (Mitt.) A.Jaeger = Campylopus gracilis (1751) Campylopus nietneri (Müll.Hal.) A.Jaeger = Campylopus fragilis var. goughii [4210: 31] (= Campylopus zollingerianus) Campylopus nigrescens (Mitt.)

A.Jaeger = Campylopus schmidii (1751) Campylopus polytrichoides De Not. = Campylopus pilifer (1751) Campylopus pseudogracilis Cardot & Dixon = Campylopus zollingerianus (1751) Campylopus pterotoneuron (Müll.Hal.) A.Jaeger = Campylopus umbellatus var. pterotoneuron (1751) Campylopus reconditus Thwaites & Mitt. = Sphaerothecium reconditum (1751) Campylopus reduncus (Reinw. & Hornsch.) Bosch & Sande Lac. = Campylopus comosus (1751) Campylopus richardii Brid. All Sri Lanka records belong to Campylopus umbellatus (Gradstein & Sipman 1978 (6380)). Campylopus subcaudatus Herzog = Bryohumbertia walkeri (1751) (=Bryohumbertia subcomosa) Campylopus subfragilis Renauld & Cardot ex Gangulee = Campylopus gracilis (2766) Campylopus subtricolor Lorentz = Campylopus schmidii (1751) Campylopus subulifolius Thwaites & Mitt. = Campylopus thwaitesii [2269] Campylopus trachythecius Müll.Hal. = Campylopus comosus (1751) Campylopus walkeri (Mitt.) A.Jaeger = Bryohumbertia walkeri (1751) (=Bryohumbertia subcomosa) Catharinea aculeata (Cardot & P.de la Varde) Broth. = Atrichum pallidum [1894] Catharinea henryi Salm.= Atrichum henryi (1521) Catharinea nietneri Müll.Hal. = Pogonatum nietneri (1521) Chaetomitrium orthorrhynchum (Dozy & Molk.) Bosch & Sande Lac. This entry is based solely on a 1975 paper covering Borneo collections, where Sri Lanka is mentioned as part of the distribution range: no Sri Lankan collections are mentioned. Claopodium nervosum M.Fleisch. = Claopodium prionophyllum (4980) Claopodium nervosum Harvey in Hook., hom. illeg. = Claopodium prionophyllum (4980) Claopodium semitortulum (Müll.Hal.) Broth. = Diaphanodon blandus var. blandus (1122) Clastobryella ceylonensis (Broth.) Broth. = Gammiella ceylonensis (406) Clastobryella cuculligera (Sande Lac.)

A.Jaeger = Microcampylopus khasianus [507] Dicranella pomiformis (Griff.) Herzog = Microdus brasiliensis (1521) (= Leptotrichella brasiliensis) Dicranella subangulata Thwaites & Mitt. = Leptotrichella subangulata (4222) Dicranodontium sparsum Dixon = D. uncinatum (4283) Dicranoloma leucophyllum (Hampe) Paris = D. brevisetum (5446) Dicranoloma leucophyllum var. kurzii M.Fleisch. = D. brevisetum (5446) Dicranum amoene-virens Müll.Hall. = Leucoloma amoene-virens (1521) Dicranum brevisetum Dozy & Molk. = Dicranoloma brevisetum (1521) Dicranum edentulum Mitt. = Braunfelsia edentula (1521) Dicranum ericetorum Mitt. = Campylopus pilifer (1751) Dicranum exasperatum (Nees & Blum) Griff. = Campylopus exasperatus (1521) Dicranum goughii Mitt. = Campylopus goughii (1521) (=C. zollingerianus) Dicranum himalayanum Mitt. = Braunfelsia scariosa (1894) Dicranum nietneri Müll.Hal. = Campylopus nietneri (1521) (=C. involutus) Dicranum nitidum Dozy & Molk. = Dicranodontium nitidum (1521) Dicranum pterotoneuron Müll.Hal. = Campylopus umbellatus var. pterotoneuron (1521) Dicranum recurvum Mitt. = Campylopus recurvus (1521) Dicranum reduncum Reinw. & Hornsch. = Campylopus reduncus (1521) (= C. comosus) Dicranum tenerum Müll.Hall. = Leucoloma tenerum (1521) Dicranum thwaitesii Mitt. = Campylopus thwaitesii (1521) Dicranum trachythecium Müll.Hal. = Campylopus trachythecius (1521) (=C. comosus) Dicranum walkeri Mitt. = Campylopus walkeri (1521) (= Bryohumbertia walkeri) Diphyscium involutum Mitt. = Diphyscium mucronifolium [1862] Dissodon subglaber Müll.Hal. = Tayloria subglabra (1521) Distichophyllum limpidum Thwaites & Mitt. = D. succulentum (4150) Distichophyllum mniifolium Mont. (auct. ind.) = D. montagneanum (5023) Distichophyllum mucronatum Thwaites & Mitt. = D. cuspidatum (5023) Distichophyllum spathulatus (auct. ind.) = D. mittenii (4150) Drepanophyllum oppositifolium Thwaites & Mitt. = Mniomalia semilimbata (1521) Ectropothecium andrei Cardot & P.de la Varde. This taxon may be a synonym of E. buitenzorgii according to Tixier (5002), but no evidence is provided. Ectropothecium subretusum Thwaites & Mitt. = Glossadelphus subretusus (1521) Ectropothecium tuberculatum (Mitt.) A.Jaeger = Trachythecium tuberculatum (1521) Endotrichella laevifolia (Thwaites & Mitt.) Broth. = Endotrichellopsis laevifolia [2764: 75] Endotrichum laevifolia (Thwaites & Mitt.) A.Jaeger = Endotrichellopsis laevifolia [2764: 75] Entodon isopterygioides Dixon, nom. nud. = Taxiphyllum isopterygioides (268) Entodon plicatus Müll.Hal. = E. macropodus (70) Entodon rubicundus (Mitt.) A.Jaeger = E. flavescens (1521) Entosthodon buseanus Dozy & Molk. = Funaria buseana (1521) Entosthodon planifolius Thwaites & Mitt. = Funaria planifolia (1893) Eriopus lucidus Thwaites & Mitt. = Calyptrochaeta lucida (new combination in this document) Erpodium bellii Thwaites & Mitt. = E. mangiferae (1521) Erpodium ceylonicum Thwaites & Mitt. = E. biseriatum (273) Eucamptodon edentulus Mitt. = Braunfelsia edentula (1521) Eucamptodon edentulus var. compactus Müll.Hal. nom. nud. = Braunfelsia edentula (1521) Fabronia curvirostris Dozy & Molk. = F. secunda (5002) Fissidens aberrans Broth & Dixon = F. curvatus (2476) Fissidens bicolor Thwaites & Mitt. = F. ceylonensis (1521) Fissidens biformis Mitt. = F. zollingeri (1893) Fissidens crassinervis Thwaites & Mitt., hom. illeg. = Fissidens laxus [1892] (= Fissidens pellucidus) Fissidens curvatoxiphioides Dixon & P.de la Varde = Fissidens beckettii [1892] Fissidens flabellatus Thwaites & Mitt. = F. serratus (1521) Fissidens glasenhageni Broth. orthog. err. pro. F. giesenhagenii Fissidens intromarginatulus E.B.Bartram = Fissidens ceylonensis [6669] Fissidens laxus Sull. & Lesq. = Fissidens pellucidus [2476] Fissidens microclados Thwaites & Mitt. = Fissidens gardneri [1470] Fissidens mittenii Paris = Fissidens laxus acc. to Tan & Iwatsuki 1993 [1742] (Indochinese checklist) but with no explanation. (= Fissidens pellucidus var. pellucidus) Fissidens multiflorus Thwaites & Mitt. = Fissidens firmus (1521) Fissidens neckeroides Griff. = Fissidens anomalus (1521) Fissidens obscurus Mitt. hom. illeg. = Fissidens subobscurus [1521] Fissidens papillosus Thwaites & Mitt. = Fissidens serratus (1521) Fissidens pennatulus Thwaites & Mitt. = Fissidens ceylonensis (1869) Fissidens perpusillus Wils. = Fissidens gardneri (76) Fissidens simplex Müll.Hal. ex M.Fleisch. = Fissidens ceylonensis var. simplex (1521) Fissidens splachnobryoides Broth = Fissidens flaccidus (3435) Fissidens sylvaticus Griff. The type specimen of this taxon is Fissidens taxifolius (fide Iwatsuki & Suzuki 1977). However, many reports of Fissidens sylvaticus for south east Asia are identical to Fissidens zippelianus (3212) (= Fissidens crispulus) Fissidens taxifolius Hedw. = Fissidens sylvaticus fide Iwatsuki & Suzuki, vide (1894) (= Fissidens crispulus) Fissidens terminiflorus Thwaites & Mitt. = Fissidens sylvativus (1521) (= Fissidens crispulus) Fissidens thwaitesii Paris = Fissidens ceylonensis [7254] Fissidens zippelianus Dozy & Molk. = Fissidens crispulus (3212) Floribundaria aurea (Mitt.) Broth. = Trachycladiella aurea (2784) Funaria 'japonicum (Mitt.) Broth.', which appears in Abeywickrama & Jansen (1978) (1893), seems to be a transliteration error from Abeywickrama 1960 (2035): the name should read F. perrottetii (Mont.) Broth. - 'japonicum' was the name of the previous species in the list. Funaria nepalensis Müll.Hal. = Funaria hygrometrica var. calvescens (1521) Gammiella capillacea (Griff.) Tixier = Clastobryum capillacea (406). Tan & Buck (406) say that Neckera capillacea Griff. does not belong to Gammiella and probably not to Clastobryum, but do not decide on the correct genus. As this taxon is dealt with by Gangulee in Clastobryum, it seems wiser to use that name until a more appropriate home is found. It is not clear from Tixier (1894) whether his collections refer to Clastobryum ceylonense (= Gammiella ceylonensis) or to Clastobryum capillacea, as he treats the two as synonyms. Garckea comosa (Dozy & Molk.) Wijk & Margad. = Garckea flexuosa (3699) Garckea phascoides (Hook.) Müll.Hal. = Garckea flexuosa (3699) Garovaglia densifolia Thwaites & Mitt. = Garovaglia powellii var. densifolia (2764) Garovaglia hamata (Müll.Hal.) Paris = Calyptothecium wightii (2764) Garovaglia laevifolia Thwaites & Mitt. = Endotrichellopsis laevifolia [2764: 75] Garovaglia obtusifolia Thwaites & Mitt. = Garovaglia powellii var. densifolia (2764) Garovaglia powellii Mitt. According to During (2764), only var. densifolia of this species occurs in Sri Lanka, so all records for the species have been transferred to that variety. Glossadelphus amboinensis M.Fleisch. So far as I can tell, this species has only been recorded previously from the small island of Ambon (Maluku, Indonesia), and may have been either incorrectly identified by Dr. Schiffner (5092), or Glossadelphus amboinensis may be just a small form of Glossadelphus zollingeri (= Ectropothecium zollingeri), particularly as it has not been reported since from Sri Lanka and it was collected from a much visited locality (Peradeniya Botanical Garden). Excluded. Glossadelphus isopterygioides (Dixon) Broth. = Taxiphyllum isopterygioides (268) Glossadelphus subretusus (Thwaites & Mitt.) M.Fleisch. = Taxiphyllum subretusum (this document) Glossadelphus vivicolor (Broth. & Dixon) Broth. = Bryocrumia vivicolor (268) Glossadelphus zollingeri (Müll.Hal.) M.Fleisch. = Ectropothecium zollingeri (this document) Glyphothecium sciuroides fo. ceylanicum M.Fleisch. ex Herzog, nom. nud. Treated here as Glyphothecium sciuroides. Grimmia ovata Web. & Mohr = G. ovalis (1893) Haplohymenium filiforme Broth.= Anomodon pseudotristis (4464) Haplohymenium pseudotriste (Müll.Hal.) Broth.= Anomodon pseudotristis (4464) Hedwigia imberbis (Sm.) Spruce = Hedwigidium integrifolium (1521) Hedwigidium imberbe (Sm.) Bruch, Schimp. & W. Gümbel = H. integrifolium (1521) Himantocladium flaccidum (Müll.Hal.) M.Fleisch. = Himantocladium flaccidum cyclophyllum (302) Himantocladium rugulosum (Mitt.) M.Fleisch. = Himantocladium flaccidum cyclophyllum (302) Homaliodendron scalpellifolium (Mitt.) M.Fleisch. = Homaliodendron fabellatum (1386) Homalothecium nilgheriense (Mont.) H.Rob. = Palamocladium nilgheriense (1894) (=P. leskeoides) Hookeria ceylanica Thwaites & Mitt. = Cyclodictyon blumeanum (1521) Hookeria purpurata Müll.Hal. = Hookeriopsis purpurata (1521) Hookeria secunda Müll.Hal. = Hookeriopsis secunda (1521) Hookeriopsis secunda (Griff.)

This is an American species, not covered by Yamaguchi's revision (Yamaguchi 1993 (1553)), and could thus be a mis-identification. Leucoloma molle (Muell.Hal.) Mitt. La Farge [7103: 611,612] discusses the relationship of this plant with L. insigne, with the inference that some if not all of the collections may belong to L. insigne, which is a distinct taxon. The type specimen of Leucoloma insigne is from Sri Lanka so it has been added to the list, but it will not be clear about the other specimens until Dr. La Farge concludes her revision. Leucoloma renauldii Broth. = Leucoloma tenerum [7103: 621] Leucoloma taylorii (Schwaegr.) Mitt. Thériot (1919 (5497)) indicates that it seems possible that the use of this name by Thwaites for Sri Lanka may have been incorrect, and Tixier (5114) may also have been misled by this.

This taxon is probably a synonym of Macromitrium zollingeri according to Fleischer (2737) Macromitrium glaucum Mitt. This species is only known from a collection in Samoa, and by a report for Sri Lanka from Fleischer (1900-1923: 435) (2737) repeated by Brotherus (1925 11: 41) (11); no specimen is mentioned for Sri Lanka, and Index Muscorum (1521) only includes Oceania in its distribution.

Brid. The presence of this plant in Sri Lanka is indicated only by a reference in Brotherus (1924: 314) (11), repeated by Brühl (2758) and Abeywickrama & Jansen (1893); it is a northern taxon and is unlikely to occur in Sri Lanka, although related taxa do occur in Asia. Racomitrium crispulum (Hook.f. & Wilson) Hook.f. & Wilson is sub-antarctic endemic, but in 1955 H.T. Clifford (4949) caused great confusion by expanding the concept of Racomitrium crispulum significantly to include collections fromAustralasia, SE Asia and Central and S.America, and this concept was perpetuated after being adopted by Index Muscorum. As a result, Racomitrium javanicum was subsequently treated in our area as a synonym of Racomitrium< crispulum, rather than Racomitrium subsecundum. The excellent treatment of the Racomitrium subsecundum group by Frisvoll (2768) is followed here.
