Description

Ptychostomum pallescens (Schleich. ex Schwägr.) J.R.Spence

RECORDED ON THE FALKLAND ISLANDS AS. — Bryum pallescens Schleich. ex Schwägr.

NOTES

A widespread northern hemisphere species that is disjunct to many areas in the southern hemisphere, including Tasmania, New Zealand, and South America. The species has not been reported from South Africa. Ptychostomum pallescens extends to Antarctica but is inexplicably absent from the subantarctic islands. It is likely to be found as more field work is conducted on these remote islands. A transitional bipolar/southern amphipacific temperate species.
