Pseudoleskeella in North America and Europe

Pseudoleskeella tectorum (Leskeaceae, Musci) in the South-Eastern European Russia

“…During the field work in the middle course of Don River in 1998, I. Zemlyanskaya collected a specimen of Pseudoleskeella, which we found difficult to identify with the available literature (Lewinsky, 1974;Smith, 1978, Wilson & Norris, 1989Abramova & al., 1960, etc.). The specimen has longly acuminate, falcate leaves throughout stem and branches, +soft texture and pale green color (Figs.…”

A new species of Pseudoleskea (Leskeaceae) from the Sierra Nevada of California, U.S.A

“…This new species is assigned to Pseudoleskea, a genus segregated from Lescuraea within the Leskeaceae, a rather medium-sized family of 21-22 genera and around 175 species (Buck & Goffinet 2000;Crosby et al 2000). The family distinctions between the Leskeaceae and Thuidiaceae remain somewhat fluid and several genera move back and forth depending on family concepts (Buck & Crum 1990;Crum & Anderson 1981;Ignatov et al 2007;Noguchi 1972;Watanabe 1972;Wilson & Norris 1989). Genera traditionally assigned to this family have also been recombined into different smaller segregate families (Ignatov et al 2007).…”

Contribution to the bryophyte flora of Morocco: the Jbel Toubkal
