Notes.

In Duke (1961), this species is cited as Drymaria viscosa S. Watson ex Orcutt. However, Orcutt did not describe the species nor attribute it to Watson, and, although his specimen represents the holotype, it is likely that Watson designated the epithet independently due to the presence of glandular trichomes that give it viscosity (Parfitt and Hodgson 1985).
