NOTES
Accompanied by
Bazzania tridens
(Reinw., Blume & Nees) Trevis.,
B. tridens
var.
tridens
,
Frullania obscura
(Sw.) Mont.
and
Plicanthus birmensis
(Steph.) R.M.Schust.
A species maybe new to science, what needs confirmation. It has similarity by its always bidentate, caducous leaves with papillose cuticle to
B. friabilis
from
Sabah
(
Kitagawa & Kodama 1975: 68
, fig. 1) also found in peninsular
Malaysia
(
Cheah & Yong 2016
). But the leaves of Tixier’s plant are more oval with margins less crenulate and the trigones of cell walls, although have midline, are much less bulging. Finally, the underleaves possess larger teeth, they are more lobate, almost star shaped.
