Some authors considered ittobeasmall formof P.marchica,but Lindberghimself combined itas P.fontana var. capillaris on the basisof its spreading perigonialleaves,which areerectin P.marchica. P.T.Husnotwasconfused byLindberg’ssolution and described the same taxon as P.arnellii in 1890.Manynewrelated speciesweresoon described,and for awhile some authors accepted both P.capillaris and P.arnellii.H.N.Dixon provisionally synonymised P.arnellii with P.capillaris in 1896,while L.Loeske (1906)and M.G.Dismier (1908) did thisdefinitively.Nonetheless,while NorthAmericanflorasand checklists unanimouslyusethe correctname P.capillaris, the name P.arnellii isstill used in almost all recentEuropeanflorasand checklists.The lattername hasuntil nowbeen cited from Husnot’s“MuscologiaGallica”(Jun-Jul1890),but the valid publication byHusnotin Revue Bryologique(Apr-Mai1890)antedatesthis.Hereweclarify,based on thatcorrect protologueand Husnot’sletters toS.O.Lindbergand V.F.Brotherus,whyHusnot described P.arnellii. V.F.Brotherus /History /T.Husnot/S.O.Lindberg/Mosses/Philonotisarnellii / Philonotiscapillaris /Nomenclature/Synonymy INTRODUCTION Thiscircumpolar,temperateand borealmoss wasdescribed and named Philonotiscapillaris byLindberg(1867)from Danishand Swedishmaterial; however,the validity of thatfirst publication hasbeen questioned. Crum etal. (1973)attributed the name toLindb. ex C.J.[sic] Hartm. (1871),while Crum& Anderson (1981) and Allen (2002)explained that Philonotiscapillaris Lindb. (1867)isa nomen nudum and thatthe name wasonlyvalidated byHartman(i.e. C.Hartman,1871). Alatername, Philonotisarnellii, waspublished byHusnot(1890a, b)on the basisof specimensfrom Sweden. P.arnellii Husn. hasbeen synonymized with P . capillaris bynumerous contemporary European(e.g. Dixon &Jameson,1896 provisionally; Dismier,1908,1910; Brotherus,1909,1923,1924;Mönkemeyer, 1927)and recent,especiallyAmerican,authors (Anderson etal.,1990; Allen, 2002),doubtless on taxonomicallygood and nomenclaturallycorrectgrounds.In spiteofthe unanimous acceptanceof P.capillaris byAmericanbryologists,the *Correspondenceand reprints:[email protected] 76 T.Koponen &P.Isoviita name P.arnellii isstill used bythe majority of recentEuropeanauthors.The presentarticle aimstoelucidatethe reasonsforthisconfusing practiceand to encourage auniformusage on bothcontinents. PHILONOTIS CAPILLARIS LINDB. Inthe protologueof Philonotiscapillaris, Lindberg(1867)did notcite specimensaccurately,stating onlythatthe plantgrows in Denmarkand Sweden. The description of P.capillaris issimilarlyvery short.Inthe same paragraph Lindbergfirst statesthatthe moss named byhim as P.parvula [ nomen nudum ]in 1859 must beregarded asavariety of P.muehlenbergii (Schwägr.) Brid. and then continuesasfollows: “Ob aber Ph. Mühlenbergii von Ph. marchica hinlänglichveschieden sei,wage ich nochnichtzuentscheiden;esscheintmirjedochso. Desgleichen ist mirnocheine andereArt derselben Gattung etwasunklar,welche aufnacktem Boden Schwedensund Dänemarkswächst; sie ist beinahe haarfein mitäusserst schmalen Trieben und sehrausgezeichnet,stehtaberuntereuropäischen Formen deroben genannten amnächsten. Von dieser,welche ichinmeinem Mss.von 1865als Ph. capillaris beschrieben habe,besitzeichleidernur ein einzigesund unvollständigesFruchtexemplarund sehrwenig männliche,dagegen sind die sterilen weiblichen minderselten.” Lindberg’s(1867)characterisation of Philonotiscapillaris, “sie ist beinahe haarfein mitäusserst schmalen Trieben und sehrausgezeichnet”,isa sufficientdescription,and the name wasaccepted in “IndexMuscorum” (Wijk et al.,1967,1969) asthe basionymof P.fontana (Hedw.) Brid. var. capillaris (Lindb.) Lindb.Crosby etal. (1999) alsoattributed P.capillaris to“Lindberg,1867”,and itiscertainlynotabare nomen nudum .Nonetheless,the name isnotvalidly published if itisobvious that“itisnotaccepted bythe author[Lindberg]in the originalpublication” (see Art.34.1(a )ofthe Code,McNeill etal. 2006). Astothis nomenclaturalpointof view,insteadofdirectlypresenting hiscurrentopinion Lindbergstated thatin amanuscriptof 1865hehaddescribed the speciesas P.capillaris .Similarexpressionsof namesnewlyestablished in hisearlier manuscripts arenotunusualinLindberg’sprotologues.Hewasanabsolute defenderof the priority principle and approved nominanuda and otherinvalidly published namesaswell asmanuscriptnames(Isoviita, 1966:209). Lindberg’s referencetohis“Mss.von 1865” isintended toshowthatthe name P.capillaris gotpriority in 1865. Thereisno doubtthatLindbergstill accepted itin the 1867 publication. Onthe otherhand,hisslighttaxonomichesitation in 1867 concerning the somewhatunclear(“etwasunklar”) speciesstatus seemstobeduemerelyto him nothaving available aspecimen withcompletesporophytes, i.e. withold capsules.Inanyevent,the last sentenceofthe Article cited abovestates:“Art. 34.1(a )doesnotapplytonamespublished withaquestion markorother indication of taxonomicdoubt,yetaccepted bytheirauthor”. Thisprovision confirmsthatsuchahesitation alone cannotinvalidatethe 1867 publication. Even if Lindberg’s(1867)first publication isnotconsidered acceptable, Philonotiscapillaris wasvalidated as Bartramiacapillaris “S.O.Lindberg(in litt.)” byT.Jensen (1868) and,independently,as Philonotiscapillaris (Lindb. ex T.Jensen) Milde byMilde (1869). Inspiteofthe latternotciting T.Jensen (1868), underArt.33.3of the Code Milde’sname canberegarded asavalidlypublished combination based on Bartramiacapillaris .Furthermore,Milde alsoascribed Philonotiscapillaris Lindb.and P.arnellii Husn.;one moss,twonames77 P.capillaris toLindbergand evidentlyknewLindberg’s(1867)original publication. InhislettertoS.O.Lindberg(in the archivesof FinnishNational Library,see Koponen &Isoviita, 2005),dated in Breslau“d. 16.Febr.68.”,Milde wrote:“ Hylocomiumsubpinnatum und Philonotiscapillaris haben wirjetzt auch in Schlesien.” The citation Philonotiscapillaris Lindb. ex C.J.Hartm. or P.capillaris Lindb. ex Hartm.,frequentlyused byAmericanauthors,refers toC.Hartman’s (1871) treatmentin the 10thedition of the Scandinavianflorafounded byhis father,C.J.Hartman(1790-1849). Thispublication of P.capillaris hasno nomenclaturalstanding sinceamerehomotypicisonym(asdefined in Art.6 Note2of the 2006 Code) isinvolved. AfterHartman’s(1871) flora, and beforethe description of Philonotis arnellii (see below),differentopinionsof the status of P.capillaris werepublished. Intheirlist of all of the mossesof the world,Jaeger&Sauerbeck(1875) cited Lindberg(1867)withaquestion mark,and mentioned alsoMilde (1869). Schimper(1876)thoughtthatspecimensfrom Germanyand Scotland are differentfrom the Danishplant,whichisagracile formof P.marchica (Hedw.) Brid. Limpricht(1876)and Molendo (1875) considered P.capillaris tobeavariety of P.marchica, and Geheeb(1878) did notaccept P.capillaris asaspecies. Zetterstedt(1876)maintained the specificstatus and presented P.parvula Lindb. [ nom. inval.]asits synonym. Gravet(1883)marked P.capillaris Lindb.asan uncertain and insufficientlyknowntaxon. PHILONOTIS ARNELLII HUSN. Instandardindicessuchas“Indexbryologicus”(Paris,1896,1905) and “Indexmuscorum” (Wijk etal.,1967),aswell asearlyand laterfloras(e.g., Limpricht,1893; Warnstorf,1905;Möller,1925;C.Jensen,1939;Nyholm,1960, 1998;Lawton,1971;Smith,1978,2004),the name Philonotisarnellii iscited from the 9thpart (“livraison”) of Husnot’s“ MuscologiaGallica”(1890b). However,in the same yearHusnotpublished anarticle on dioicous speciesof Philonotis (Husnot,1890a)in RevueBryologique 17(3):42-47,and P.arnellii isdescribed alsointhatarticle.

  • Anomobryum Julaceum A
    Bryales Anomobryum julaceum A. filiforme Slender Silver-moss 4 mm var. julaceum. var. concinnatum var. julaceum 2 mm var. julaceum 3 mm var. concinnatum 0.5 mm Identification Shoots grow in tufts or scattered, typically 1.5–4 cm tall, but only 0.25–0.5 mm wide, and often have a few branches. They are glossy, silvery green or yellowish above and pale brown below, with short (1 mm long), erect, concave leaves that overlap each other and appress the stem. The nerve reaches half or three-quarters of the way towards the leaf tip and sometimes even closer to the tip in var. julaceum; in var. concinnatum (A. concinnatum) the nerve reaches the tip. Bulbils quite often develop in the axils of leaves. Horizontal or drooping, cylindrical capsules about 3 mm long are rare from late spring to autumn. They have a short, yellow peristome, and are borne on a red seta about 2 cm long. The leaves surrounding the base of each seta are longer than the other leaves. Similar species Bryum argenteum (p. 596) also has pale, narrow shoots, but these are silvery white rather than silvery green or yellowish, and are never branched. Its leaves are not so oblong or tongue-shaped as in A. julaceum, and the capsule is 1.5 mm long rather than 3 mm. B. argenteum may also develop bulbils in its leaf axils, like A. julaceum. Plagiobryum zieri (p. 578) has wider shoots tinged pink below, and capsules 6–7 mm long. The leaves of Aongstroemia longipes (p. 363) are not clearly widest at the middle, and they narrow more abruptly to a blunt tip.

  • About the Book the Format Acknowledgments
    About the Book For more than ten years I have been working on a book on bryophyte ecology and was joined by Heinjo During, who has been very helpful in critiquing multiple versions of the chapters. But as the book progressed, the field of bryophyte ecology progressed faster. No chapter ever seemed to stay finished, hence the decision to publish online. Furthermore, rather than being a textbook, it is evolving into an encyclopedia that would be at least three volumes. Having reached the age when I could retire whenever I wanted to, I no longer needed be so concerned with the publish or perish paradigm. In keeping with the sharing nature of bryologists, and the need to educate the non-bryologists about the nature and role of bryophytes in the ecosystem, it seemed my personal goals could best be accomplished by publishing online. This has several advantages for me. I can choose the format I want, I can include lots of color images, and I can post chapters or parts of chapters as I complete them and update later if I find it important. Throughout the book I have posed questions. I have even attempt to offer hypotheses for many of these. It is my hope that these questions and hypotheses will inspire students of all ages to attempt to answer these. Some are simple and could even be done by elementary school children. Others are suitable for undergraduate projects. And some will take lifelong work or a large team of researchers around the world. Have fun with them! The Format The decision to publish Bryophyte Ecology as an ebook occurred after I had a publisher, and I am sure I have not thought of all the complexities of publishing as I complete things, rather than in the order of the planned organization.

    Botany and Microbiology department Faculty of Science South Valley University Dr/ Hoida Zaki Class 2: Musci mosses Order Order Order Sphagnales Andreaeales Bryales Sphagnum Andreaea Funaria Polytrichum Sporophyte and gametophyte of Rhizomnium glabrescens Sporophyte and gametophyte of Leucolepis acanthoneuron The main characters of the mosses are: 1- Spores on germination give rise to a filamentous or thalloid protonema. This has oblique transverse walls and produces upwright branches which bear the sex organs. 2- The gametophyte is differentiated into a stem & leaves & carries multicellular rhizoids. 3- Sporophytes have capsules with a greater proportion of sterile tissues. 4- No elaters in mosses. The gametophyte is differentiated into a stem carrying leaves. In young leaves all the cells are alike, in most leaves, however, there are two kinds of cells; long narrow cells which remain alive and contain chloroplasts; and large cells with spiral thickening in their walls. The narrow cells are green photosynthetic cells. The large cells lose their protoplast become hyaline and photosynthetic cells have a regular reticulate arrangement with respect to one another. Hyaline cells play an important role in the absorption and retention of water. The stem is internally differentiated into a central medulla cylinder of hadrome and a cortex. The latter is at first one cell in thickness but later it becomes 4-5 cells in thickness. Cortical cells may develop spirally thickened walls similar to those in the hyaline cells of the leaf. The cortex of lateral branches is always one cell in thickness. The cells of the cylinder (hadrome) are thick walled and apparently form a supporting tissue.

Thirty-four of these species were new species to the world. However, eight of these species have been not listed to the moss checklist of Korea before this study. Thus, this study complies the literature including Korean mosses, and lists all the species there. As the result, the moss list of Korea is updated as including 775 taxa (728 species, 7 subspecies, 38 varieties, 2 forma) arranged into 56 families and 250 genera. This list include species that have been newly recorded since 1980. Brachythecium is the largest genus in Korea, and Fissidens, Sphagnum, Dicranum and Entodon are relatively large. Additionally, this study cites specimens collected from Jeju Island, Samcheok, Gangwon Province, and Socheong Island, and it is possible to confirm the distribution of 338 species in Korea.
