Rosulabryum Genus Novum (Bryaceae)
Spence JR. 1996. Rosulabryum Genus Novum (Bryaceae). The Bryologist. 99(2):221-225
"The genus Rosulabryum is newly described in the Bryacaea. It comprises the species in section Capillaria (Rosulata and Trichophora) of Bryum. These species are characterized by rosulate leaves that are abovate with denticulate to serrate upper margins and have Rhodobryum-like areolation, rhizoidal tubers, capsules with unreduced perstomes, and small spores. In all, 54 taxa are considered to belong to the new genus, of which 11 are transferred in this study. Bryum albolimbatum (Hampe) Jaeg. is selected as the type species. Relationships with other genera in the Bryaceae are discussed, and a key to the new genus and related genera is provided. Notes on ecology and distribution are included."
