Fissidens bryoides
Hedw.
, Sp. Musc. Frond.
153. 1801.
Materials examined.
Table 1
.
Fig 14
.
Identification.
Characterized by the absence of hyaline axillary nodules in the stem; unistratose limbidium not confluent with the costa apex in all leaves.
Fissidens bryoides
resembles
F. crispus
Mont.
by the limbidium of leaves, however, hyaline axillary nodules differenti- ate it from this species, which has larger cells with thick and sinuous walls and generally longer leaves. Habitat: rupicolous and terricolous.
Brazilian range.

Fissidens crispus
Mont.
, Ann. Sci. Nat., Bot.
2 9: 57. 1838.
Materials examined.

.
Identification.
Recognized by the presence of hyaline axillary nodules on the stem; oblong-ovate entirely limbate leaves, sometimes crispate when dry; smooth cells with thick walls.
Fissidens crispus
resembles
F. bryoides
Hedw.
, which has smaller cells without thick walls. Habitat: terricolous.

Materials examined.

Fissidens flaccidus
Mitt.
, Trans. Linn. Soc. London

6 f.
18. 1860.
Materials examined.
Table 1
.
Identification.
Identified by flabellate gametophytes; long lanceolate leaves with limidium entirely conflu- ent with the apex; smooth pentagonal or hexagonal cells with sinuous walls. It is similar to
Fissidens palmatus
Hedw.
, which is smaller (generally
2–4 mm
alt.), and has cells with straight walls and limbidium not confluent with the apex. Habitat: rupicolous.
Brazilian range.
