Remarks

Harpalejeunea stricta is a widespread neotropical species. Harpalejeunea herzogii is a phenotype with ciliate perianths; typical H. stricta has shortly toothed keels. In other respects, the two species are identical. Perhaps H. herzogii may be retained as a variety of H. stricta . In Brazil plants with ciliate perianths has been described as H. schiffneri S.W.Arnell (see Gradstein & Costa 2003), which may be a further synonym of H. stricta .
