NOTES

Plagiochila boivinii View in CoL (sect. Vagae) is a species endemic to La Réunion that was recorded from Madagascar by Vanden Berghen (1981); the Madagassan records, however, belong to P. incerta View in CoL . Plagiochila incerta View in CoL clearly differs from P. boivinii View in CoL in having ampliate leaves, leaf cells with large trigones and lack of underleaves. Plagiochila boivinii View in CoL , on the other hand, has non-ampliate leaves, small trigones and distinct underleaves. The description and illustration of P. boivinii View in CoL in Vanden Berghen (1981) is a mixture of P. boivinii View in CoL and P. incerta View in CoL .
