Abstract

Meteoriopsis undulata Horik. & Nog. (Bryophyta: Meteoriaceae), previously known only from Japan, Taiwan and China, is reported as new to Australia from two collections in the Wet Tropics of north-eastern Queensland. A revision of the current Australian moss key is suggested to accommodate this species.
