Contribution to the bryoflora of Australia, V. Colura streimannii sp. nov. from Queensland

Abstract

. A new species of Colura (Dumort.) Dumort., was collected in the Cape Tribulation area of Queensland, in the man- grove forests of Daintree National Park. It is a member of subgenus Colura , section Harmophyllum Grolle, and differs from the superficially similar Colura pulcherrima Ast and C. queenslandica B. M. Thiers (both belong to another subgenus or section) by its easily detachable valve or by its acutely papillose lobule surface. Cheilolejeunea occlusa (Herz.) Kodama & Kitagawa occurs in the same habitat. This is a new record for Australia.
