Names and sources

Accepted Name Source
Polytrichadelphus magellanicus (Hedw.) Mitt.
  • AusMoss
According to:Klazenga, N. (2015), AusMoss: Catalogue of Australian mosses
Published in:Mitten, W. (1859), Descriptions of some new species of Musci from New Zealand and other parts of the Southern Hemisphere, together with an enumeration of the species collected in Tasmania by William Archer, Esq.; arranged upon the plan proposed in the 'Musci Indiae Orientalis'. Journal of the Proceedings of the Linnean Society, Botany 4 [97]

Smith (1971: 41) argues that Australian and New Zealand material should be treated as a distinct species, Polytrichadelphus innovans, limiting the APC Dist. of P. magellanicus to Juan Fernandez, southern Chile, the Fuegian region, the Falkland Islands and Tristan da Cunha. Hyvönen (2006: 137) prefers to treat all specimens from both sides of the Pacific as belonging to P. magellanicus. Qld and NSW reports not confirmed by Hyvönen (2006: 137).
