The species of Frullania subgen. Trachycolea (Frullaniaceae) in Australia
DOI:
https://doi.org/10.7751/telopea20926Abstract
A taxonomic revision of Frullania subgen. Trachycolea Spruce (Frullaniaceae) is presented based on specimens housed at the Australian National Herbarium (CANB) and additional collections made during four field expeditions to Australia between 1999 and 2004. Of the 29 previously recognized species, eight are reduced to synonymy, while Frullania eymae S.Hatt., previously known only from New Guinea, is newly reported for Australia. An artificial key, detailed species descriptions, and illustrations are provided to facilitate identification. Of the 21 species recognized here, eight are endemic to Australia, and nine are shared between Australia and New Zealand.
