COMMENT

Holyoak (2021) confirmed that Bryum pseudotriquetrum var. algeriense (Corb.) Wijk & Margad. (synonym: B. ventricosum var. algeriense Corb. nom. illeg.), that was reported by Jelenc (1955a) from Monts de Constantine, 1000 m, belongs to the species Ptychostomum pseudotriquetrum but without assigning to the typical or var. bimum (Schreb.) Holyoak & N.Pedersen. The same applies to B. pseudotriquetrum var. duvalioides Itzigs. in Rabenh. (synonym: Bryum ventricosum var. duvalioides (Itzigs.) Glow. ) and Bryum pseudotriquetrum var. gracilescens Schimp. (synonym: Bryum ventricosum var. gracilescens (Schimp.) Lindb. nom. inval.).
