Note: Hedwigia
ciliata var. leucophaea is characterized by a long hyaline and
papillose leaf apex (22-55% of the leaf length, Hedenäs 1994), that is pure
white and strongly contrasted by the rest of the leaf and leaf margins
sometimes recurved below and plane above. All Hedwigia, that have been
collected hitherto in Latin America belong to H. nivalis (M. Müll.)
Mitt. (Allen, in prep.), which also can have a long hyaline leaf apex. The type
of H. nivalis comes from the same area, Merida in Venezuela (Buck &
Norris 1996) where H. ciliata var. leucophaea now was collected
two times. H. nivalis differs from the latter taxon by the presence of
incurved upper leaf margins, while those
of H. ciliata var. leucophaea are plane (Allen, in prep.).

Note: Calypogeia
subintegra may be confused with and distinguished from C. peruviana
by its entire leaves which are only rarely shallowly bifid, and by its
underleaves which never show either teeth or protuberances. Furthermore, fresh

bodies have been observed in the above cited specimen 13280: present in all
leaf cells, 2-7 per cell, botryoidal to more rarely spindle shaped, 3-8 µm wide

relatively large droplets. In Brazilian material of C. peruviana the oil
bodies are larger (4-8 × 8-16 µm in Schäfer-Verwimp & Verwimp 13317: Minas

Schäfer-Verwimp & Holz SV/H-0344 (INB, STU) and S/H-0372/A (INB). Limón: Braulio Carillo National Park, primary rain forest near park entrance, epiphytic, 500 m, 29.12.1999, leg.

America (Venezuela, Bolivia, Colombia, Ecuador, Peru, Brazil, Surinam); from
Costa Rica and Central America known only from an old Standley collection from
Orosi Valley (Bischer 1962a); new to Limón.
Note: The underleaves
seem to be more variable than reported in literature. At least the plants of
the specimen from Braulio Carillo National Park have underleaves predominantly
bifid, only rarely bisbifid and then usually with a single additional tooth (as
shown in Fig. 31h in Bischler 1962a); the leaves, however, are very typical and
leave no doubt about its identity.
Limón: Braulio Carillo National Park, primary rain forest near park entrance, on rock, 500 m, 29.12.1999, leg. Schäfer-Verwimp & Holz SV/H-0305 (INB, STU).
Distr.: Widespread
but scattered in tropical America, second record for Costa Rica and new to

SV/H-0179/A (INB).
Distr.: Hitherto
known only from Ecuador (type) and Colombia; new to Costa Rica and Central
America.
The perianth is
nearly identical to that of the closely related Drepanolejeunea paramicola
R. M. Schust. (see fig. 1 in Schuster 1996), except that the beak usually is
flaring at the mouth. In the specimen SV/H-0149/B, the size of the underleaves
(200–220 µm wide, the lobes 2–3(–4) cells wide at base and 6–8 cells long) lies
between D. andina as given in Bischler (1964) and D. paramicola
(Schuster, l.c.), and the distal portions of the keel often are
crenulate-papulose as described for D. paramicola. However, in all
leaves two distinct ocelli are clearly visible, a characteristic feature of D.
andina.
San José: Cordillera de Talamanca, Cerro de la Muerte,
on branches of shrubs in páramo vegetation, 3400 m, 26.12.1999, leg.
Schäfer-Verwimp & Holz SV/H-0142, 0149/C (INB); -, -, on rock, 3350 m,
SV/H-0165 (INB).
Distr.: Known from
Colombia, Venezuela, Ecuador, and southeastern Brazil; new to Costa Rica and
Central America.
The plants from Costa
Rica usually have larger underleaves and more strongly papulose leaf cells than
the plants from southeastern Brazil. The last cited collection from rock has
extraordinary large underleaves consisting of 50–60 cells (fide Bischler 1964
only 25–40 cells) but otherwise it
seems not to be separable from typical D. granatensis.
