| Taxon Notes: | This genus is sometimes included as a synonym of Plumularia. Here we follow Watson (2011) and regard it as a distinct genus, pending further investigation - a detailed genetic study of the group is needed. This code is provided for use when identification of a specimen to this level is sufficient, or when no further detail is available. | ||
