Comments. – Number 3673 was first published as “ Syrrhopodon argentinicus C. Müll.” by BESCHERELLE (1885: 17) before later being used as the type of S. paraguensis . Müller ( MÜLLER & STEPHANI, 1887) cited the collection number 3673 for his nomen nudum “ Hypnum subnudum”, although it appears not to be based on the same material as that used to describe S. paraguensis as the locality information differs.
