COMMENT

Bryum schleicheri fo. peracutifolium Thér. and B. schleicheri fo. stenophyllum were described from Algeria by Thériot (1931) from Hoggar, Tamanghasset (in Tehi- n-Tekart, at 2000 m the first, and in Tessekimt at 1900 m the second), and later compiled in Jelenc (1955a). Its identity has not been reassessed since its description ( Ros et al. 2013). They are probably synonyms of P. schleicheri .
