The Hepaticae and Anthocerotae of the subantarctic and temperate islands in the eastern Southern Hemisphere (90°E to 0°): an annotated catalogue

“…However, Schi ner (1906, p. 70) had already refuted Stephani's spore description of F. naumannii, and stressed the correctness of the description and illustration of the F. naumannii spores in Schi ner (1890). These apparently match those of A. marionensis and F. australis rather well, as ®gured and described by Schuster (1994). Schuster (1995a;Figs 1±2).…”

“…These plants are treated as true Fossombronia australis, essentially distinguished by their spherical capsule from Austrofossombronia marionensis with an ellipsoid capsule. Schuster (1994) excluded a conspeci®city of his Austrofossombronia plants from Marion I. and Prince Edward I. with F. naumannii from Kerguelen mainly by the description of spores of the latter by Stephani (1900). However, Schi ner (1906, p. 70) had already refuted Stephani's spore description of F. naumannii, and stressed the correctness of the description and illustration of the F. naumannii spores in Schi ner (1890).…”

Cross-fertilisation in the monoecious Pellia borealis, n = 18, and spatial distribution of two peroxidase genotypes

“…Observations of a mainly morphological and anatomical nature (Longton, 1974;Schuster, 1981) indicate a level of genetic variability in Bryophyta, but a detailed formulation of the variability in genetic terms has presented difficulties, until the introduction of electrophoretic techniques (Taylor et a!., 1970;Krzakowa, 1977;Krzakowa and Szweykowski, 1979). …”

“…Proskauer (1963) re-classified both as synonyms. Schuster (1981) described (6) P. megaspora R.M.Schust. as a distinct species of the P. endiviifolia complex from eastern North America and re-classified P. columbiana as a subspecies.…”
