Remarks Plagiochila punctata is a widespread species of tropical America, East Africa and western Europe (Heinrichs et al. 2005) that had not yet been recorded from Guadeloupe. The type material of P. germani, containing P. punctata in a mixture with P. gymnocalycina (Lehm. & Lindenb.) Mont., fits Stephani’s illustration (Icones Ined. 11701) very well but the type label is confusing, stating “ Plag. herminieri St. sub Pl. germani G[ottsche] ms, Guadeloupe, l’Herminier”. The material is not copious but contains well-developed male and female plants of P. punctata, with the characteristic denuded branches due to leaves dropping off. The leaves are transverse, small, ovate, with a conspicuous vitta-like area at the base and 3-4 teeth on the margins (2 near the apex and 1-2 on the ventral margin), and the leaf cells have large trigones. The species is close to P. bifaria but the latter is a more robust plant with more numerous teeth on leaf margins and without caducous leaves., Published as part of Gradstein, S.

A.Jaeger (Fig. 5) Berichte über die Thätigkeit der St. Gallischen Naturwissenschaftlichen Gesellschaft 1876-1877: 416 (1878). — Basionym: Rhaphidostegium glaucinum Besch., Annales des Sciences naturelles, Botanique, sér. 4, 3: 253 (1876). — Type: Guadeloupe, without locality, l‘Herminier s.n., “in herb. Schimp., no 28” (lecto-, designated here, PC[PC0121060!]; isolecto-, PC[PC0733118!], NY n.v.). Remarks According to Buck (1998) T. glaucinum is characterized by oblong-triangular, shortly acuminate leaves with plane to slightly twisted apices, obscurely serrulate margins, cells with a conspicuous papilla in the upper ⅓, and leaf bases rather abruptly constricted to a narrow insertion. Buck considered T. glaucinum probably most closely related to T. vincentinum (Mitt.) A.Jaeger, a species widely distributed in the West Indies, but the leaves in the latter species are narrower and more longly acuminate, with subulate and more conspicuously twisted apices. Moreover, the leaves are presumably more gradually narrowed to the base. We have examined the two isotype specimens of Trichosteleum glaucinum in Bescherelle’s “Antillean Bryophytes” herbarium in PC. Both have leaves with shortly acuminate tips and fit the prologue very well. The specimen PC0121060 in this herbarium is chosen as the lectotype as it refers to the Schimper herbarium. A portion of the type kept in the general bryophyte herbarium of Paris (PC0099421!), however, has longly acuminate leaves with twisted, piliferous tips and does not belong to T. glaucinum; instead it represents typical T. vincentinum. This suggests that the original collection of T. glaucinum may have been a mixture of T. glaucinum and T. vincentinum. A close examination of leaves of the two species showed that the piliferous, twisted tips measured about ¼-⅓ of total leaf length in T. vincentinum and ¹⁄₁₀-¹∕₅(-¼) in T. glaucinum. Moreover, the upper part of the leaf (beyond the widest portion of the lamina) was about twice longer than the lower part in T. vincentinum and only about 1.5× longer in T. glaucinum. We could not confirm the difference in leaf base constriction mentioned by Buck. In both species the leaves seemed to be gradually narrowed to the base. Since the two species essentially differ only in the length of the piliferous tips, T. glaucinum should probably be treated as a variety of T. vincentinum. According to Buck (1998) Trichosteleum glaucinum is only known from the type from Guadeloupe. Recently, however, the species has been reported from three different states of Brazil: Bahia (Evangelista et al. 2018), Maranhão (Silva 2018) and Mato Grosso (www.splink.croia.org.br). However, all three Brazilian records appear to be erroneous. According to Dr Denilson Peralta (pers. com.) the material from Maranhão belongs to T. subdemissum (Besch.) A.Jaeger. and that from Mato Grosso to an undescribed species (det. A. Leal & P. Camara). Furthermore, based on images sent by Dr Cid J. P. Bastos we found that the material from Bahia belongs to T. intricatum (Thér.) J.Florsch. It thus appears that T. glaucinum does not occur in Brazil and is endemic to Guadeloupe., Published as part of Gradstein, S.

Remarks Plagiochila deflexa is a neotropical-Hawaiian disjunctive species that is known in the Neotropics from Cuba, Central America and the northern Andes (Heinrichs et al. 2002; Gradstein in press); it had not yet been recorded from the Lesser Antilles. The species is recognized by the medium-sized plants (c. 3-5 mm wide) with exclusively intercalary branching, ovateoblong to elongate-triangular, ventrad leaves with a rather narrow apex, an ampliate ventral base, rather few (c. 15-20) triangular teeth along the leaf margins, leaf cells c. 25-35 µm wide in midleaf and with large trigones, and leaf base with a conspicuous vitta-like area of larger cells. The species may be confused with P. adianthoides (Sw.) Lindenb. but the latter species lacks a vitta, the leaf margin in P. adianthoides is usually bordered by thicker-walled cells (forming a yellowish border), the marginal teeth are more numerous (20-50 per leaf) and more linear in shape, the trigones are smaller and the leaf apex is more broadly rounded., Published as part of Gradstein, S.

Urban (lecto-, designated here, G[G00066662!], c. gyn.; isolecto-, NY n.v., fide Pagán 1942). Description The outstanding characters of R. innovans are the very delicate, 2-pinnate plants with a very narrow (150-250 µm in diameter), biconvex, almost wingless axis and numerous long and narrow, linear to subulate branches. The branches are only little narrower than the axis, plano-convex, obliquely to widely spreading, usually tapering to narrow tips, and narrowly winged by 1-2 cell wide wings. The presence of small scales on the calyptra, made up of large cells, may be a further characteristic of the species. The plants are dioicous; gemmae have not been observed. Remarks Riccardia innovans approaches R. regnellii (Ångstr.) K.G.Hell, but the latter is a larger plant with a flat axis (not biconvex) and with broader, frequently tongue-shaped branches. In the type material, some R. regnellii plants are growing mixed in the dense mat of R. innovans and are immediately recognized by their much larger size. Riccardia innovans is thus far only known from the type. A field search by the second author in the type locality and elsewhere has not revealed further populations of the species. The taxonomic relationships of the species will be dealt with in a comprehensive study on the genus Riccardia in Guadeloupe (Lavocat Bernard & Reeb in prep.)., Published as part of Gradstein, S.

Frullania trigona L.Clark, Jovet-Ast & Frye (Figs 1, 4) The Bryologist 50: 52 (1947). — Type: Guadeloupe, Traces Hugues, “sur branchettes”, P. & V. Allorge s.n. (iso-, PC[PC0102212, PC0102211 (slide)]!). Remarks Frullania trigona is a member of subg. Frullania sect. Microphyllae (R.M.Schust.) Gradst., Lima & Ilk. -Borg., a small group of about ten species including three in the Neotropics (Lima et al. 2020). Characteristic of this section are the small, dioicous plants, less than 1 mm wide, with caducous leaf lobes, ocelli in leaf lobes (and sometimes in underleaves), and small, distant underleaves.Within this group, F.trigona stands out by scattered ocelli in leaves but not in underleaves, margins of leaves and underleaves distantly crenulate by projecting trigones,underleaves scarcely wider than the stem, and female bracts and bracteoles with entire margins. The species is only known from the type.

Harpalejeunea stricta Lindenb. & Gottsche) Steph. Species Hepaticarum 5: 259 (1913).— Type: Mexico, Veracruz, Mirador, Liebmann s.n., c. gyn. (isosyn-, G[G00115038, G0011539]!). Harpalejeunea herzogii Jovet-Ast, Feddes Repertorium Species Novae Regni Veg. 58: 19 (1955). — Type: Guadeloupe, “Carbet, sur rocher humide,” 15.II.1936, P. & V. Allorge s.n., c. gyn. (holo-, PC[PC0103158!]), syn. nov. Remarks Harpalejeunea stricta is a widespread neotropical species. Harpalejeunea herzogii is a phenotype with ciliate perianths; typical H. stricta has shortly toothed keels. In other respects, the two species are identical. Perhaps H. herzogii may be retained as a variety of H. stricta. In Brazil plants with ciliate perianths has been described as H. schiffneri S.W.Arnell (see Gradstein & Costa 2003), which may be a further synonym of H. stricta.
