Note on Cyathodium (Hepaticae) in Vietnam

“…Another report of Cyathodium is that C. aureonitens by Sri va stava & Dixit (1996) who cite Vietnam in the general dis tri bution of the taxon, but do not provide specimens exa mined for the country nor references for primary report. As the result by now there are three mentioned taxa, all re gar ded as undoubted reports in Shu et al (2017), despite reports of two taxa are based on the same specimen that seems to be lost, and the origin of third species report is un clear. Meantime, it worth to be noted the distribution of all of three mentioned taxa in Vietnam is possible and the spe cial attention should be paid to this genus discovery in the course of field researches.…”

“…It worth to be mentioned the basis for the later synony my is quite unclear for us (moreover Bakalin was not able to find in G, where it should be kept and to check the iden ti ty). Bakalin et al (2016) overlooked the report by Ste pha ni (1895), whereas Shu et al (2017) probably over looked the preceding mention in Bescherelle (1892) and re por ted C. cavernarum in their list with the reference for Ste pha ni (1895), but retained in the latter the report of C. smaragdinum based on Srivastava and Dixit (1996), thus reported two taxa virtually based on the same specimen.…”
