Description

Blasia pusilla L.

Hattori (1968) in his “Hepaticae collected by F.Schmid in Ceylon and Pakistan ” included Blasia pusilla L. However, this specimen had been collected by F. Schmid in 1953 from Pakistan not from Sri Lanka. and was not recorded during the present study,confirming that Blasia pusilla L. does not occur in Sri Lanka. The species had been erroneously included in the latest checklist, by Long and Rubasinghe (2014) and should be corrected.
