Abstract
ABSTRACT Recent collections of Heterocladium flaccidum (Schimp.) A.J.E.Sm. in Tunisia and in Georgia (Caucasus) represent the first records of this species both in Africa and Asia. Molecular phylogenetic analysis of samples from France, Great Britain, Tunisia and Georgia placed the species in a maximally supported clade sister to or nested in other species of Heterocladium s.str., i.e., excluding recently segregated Heterocladiella species. This genetic distinction of H. flaccidum from H. heteropterum (Brid.) Schimp., found in separate analyses of ITS and trnS-F markers, strongly supports the specific recognition of H. flaccidum. Representative African and Asian specimens are illustrated and described. Ecological and chorological details are provided.
期刊介绍:
Cryptogamie is a fully electronic journal, with a continuous
publication stream, devoted to a wide diversity of cryptogamic
topics, mainly in the taxonomic-phylogenetic field.
Cryptogamie, Bryologie accepts articles on systematics as
well as ecology and evolution of all of bryophytes.
Thematic issues may also be published under the responsibility of a guest editor.
