REMARKS

A Pantropical species, for a long time it was known as F. angustifolius Sull., but Bruggeman-Nannenga (2016) has shown Fissidens biformis to be an older name. The species is known in Asia from China, India, Sri Lanka, Indonesia and Papua New Guinea (Daniels & Kariyappa 2013). In Asia the distribution of the species is insufficiently known, as some reports of F. angustifolius in the literature have been shown to belong to F. zollingeri (Bruggeman-Nannenga 2016) .
