A revision of unrevised taxon names in the former genus Taxilejeunea (Marchantiophyta: Lejeuneaceae) from Asia

Recent molecular work has shown that the genus Taxilejeunea is a synonym of Lejeunea . This study deals with the status of unrevised taxon names in Taxilejeunea from Asia. Six species are transferred to Lejeunea ( L. compressiuscula , L. javanensis , L. koordersii , L. giulianettii , L. splendida , L. tjibodensis ) and two new varieties, L. discreta var. gracilipes , L. pulchriflora var. nymannii , are described. Seven new synonyms are proposed: Taxilejeunea cuspidata Steph. ex Schiffn. [= L. stevensiana (Steph.) Mizut.], T. deflexa Steph. [= L. microloba Taylor], T. laxiretis (Steph.) Eifrig [= L. sordida (Nees) Nees], T. longirostris Herzog [= L. mizutanii Grolle], T. obtusistipula Steph. [= L. albescens (Steph.) Mizut.], T. stephanii Eifrig [= L. discreta Lindenb.] and T. umbilicata f. brevirostris Eifrig [= L. umbilicata (Nees) Nees].
