3. Phyllodon glossoides (Bosch & Sande Lac.) P.E.A.S. Câmara

Hypnum glossoides Bosch & Sande Lac. was described as an Indonesian species distributed in Java ( Fleischer 1923). It was reported from Guangdong and Yunnan provinces of China by Redfearn et al. (1989) and Wu & Jia (2004). Our examination of voucher specimens reveals that the distribution records of Guangdong [P.L. Redfearn Jr. 34376b (PE)] and Yunnan [W.-X. Xu 6452 (PE)] by Redfearn et al. (1989) are based on misidentification. Both of the voucher specimens are identical to Phyllodon lingulatus . While the voucher specimen [P.L. Redfearn Jr. & Y.-G. Su 942 (PE)] used for Yunnan recorded by Wu and Jia (2004) is a species of Symphyodon Montagne (1841: 279) . It is in accord with the concept of Symphyodon by its oblong-lanceolate leaves, serrate leaf margins and slightly decurrent bases, obvious double costae and proration at upper end of laminal cells.
