  • The Genus Anomobryum Schimp. (Bryopsida, Bryaceae) in Australia
    777 The genus Anomobryum Schimp. (Bryopsida, Bryaceae) in Australia John R. Spence and Helen P. Ramsay Abstract Spence, John R.1 and Ramsay, Helen P.2 (1National Park Service, Glen Canyon NRA, PO Box 1507, Page, AZ 86040, USA; 2National Herbarium of New South Wales, Mrs. Macquaries Road, Royal Botanic Gardens, Sydney, NSW 2000, Australia) 2002. The genus Anomobryum Schimp. (Bryopsida, Bryaceae) in Australia. Telopea 9(4) 777–792. The genus Anomobryum has been revised for Australia and five species are recognized: A. auratum (Mitt.) A. Jaeger, A. harriottii (R. Br. bis.) Dixon, Anomobryum sp. (= Bryum argenteum Hedw.), and two new combinations made for species transferred from Bryum: A. lanatum (P. Beauv.) J.R. Spence & H.P. Ramsay, and A. subrotundifolium (A. Jaeger) J.R. Spence & H.P. Ramsay. Keys, descriptions, illustrations and distributions are presented for the species in Australia. Relationships with other genera in the Bryaceae are discussed. Introduction In this study the genus Anomobryum (Bryaceae) has been examined in detail as a contribution for the Flora of Australia. Anomobryum is closely related to the widespread genus Bryum and most bryologists (e.g. Smith 1978, Crum & Anderson 1981, Noguchi 1994, Eddy 1996) consider it a separate genus, although Ochi (1970, 1992) retained it as a subgenus within Bryum. In general Anomobryum is distinguished by its very small size, julaceous stems, and leaves with a weak costa and smooth margins, all features that it shares with the silver Bryum species, such as B. argenteum Hedw. At least two species of Anomobryum are also silver in colouration like B. argenteum and its allies.
