| Abstract;One of the smallest members of its genus is Plagiochila artsii sp. nov. which is described from the Reunion Island, collected from a tree fern stem by the late Belgian bryologist, Theo Arts. It is characterized, apart from its small size, by the irregularly bi-trilobed leaves with narrow, caducous segments. Plagiochila hiroshiana is described from the Nguru Mountains of Tanzania, a member of the crystalline Eastern Arc mountains, notorious for their richness in endemics and Madagascar links. Both species are members of the montane, mossy cloud forests. P. artsii has uncertain affinity to members of sect. Arrectae with caducous leaf lobes, while P. hiroshiana is related to some Neotropical members of sect. Vagae. (author abst.) |
