COMMENT

Gymnostomum calcareum var. gracillimum Besch. nom. nud. was reported by Bescherelle (1882) and Jelenc (1955a) from Alger. According to Ros et al. (2013), the identity of this name seems not to have been revised since. It is not a synonym of Hymenostylium gracillimum (Nees & Hornsch.) Köckinger & Jan Kučera.
