Abstract

A review of the nomenclatural history ofThamnobryum subserratum andThamnobryum subseriatum shows that the former, which ranges widely from the Himalayas to Southeast Asia, has been misrepresented in the literature asThamnobryum “subseriatum,” and that the latter, which appears to be a Japanese endemic, has been called a superfluous name,Thamnobryum sandei. A new combination,Thamnobryum subseriatum (Mitt. ex Sande Lac.) Tan, is proposed for the Japanese endemic and its lectotype hereby designated. In addition, morphological differences between the two taxa are discussed.
