Syzygiella tasmanica

Syzygiella kerguelensis So & Grolle (2003: 358) , known only in sterile condition, is morphologically identical with Syzygiella tasmanica (Hook.f. et Taylor in Hooker 1846:274) Feldberg et al. (2010b:144). The plants of the latter taxon are only slightly smaller and lack underleaves. These differences are obviously of minor importance since already Grolle (1971: 58) noted that the amphigastria of Jamesoniella tasmanica (Hook.f. et Taylor) Stephani (1901b: 1037) are sometimes lacking in sterile shoot sectors. We also need to consider that the Kerguelen plants were found between rhizomes of Lomaria alpina , and were thus likely not optimally developed.
