bucklandiella didyma
Bucklandiella didyma
It is only in recent years that this moss has been segregated from
the Racomitrium genus and placed under Bucklandiella.
It passed off as B. emersa for a few years until the
determiation that it was conspecific with B. didyma from
South America, the latter name taking precedence because it was
described earlier. A taxonomic paper on the subject is in
preparation.
A key¹ to Australasian Bucklandiella has been included in the reference below.
