9. Symphyodon copelandii Brotherus View in CoL
[ Symphyodontaceae ]
The genus is distinctive with its echinate capsules. Without the capsule, specimens of Symphyodon can be mistaken for Chaetomitrium or Neckera because of the prorate laminal cells and the short double leaf costae. Symphyodon copelandii is the second species of the genus reported from Mindanao after S. perrottetii Montagne. The two species differ in the outline of their leaf apices being acute to bluntly and shortly acuminate in the former, and gradually acuminate in the latter. Good illustrations of these two species are found in He and Snider (2000). As currently documented, Symphyodon copelandii has a Wallacean range found in the Philippines and central part of Indonesia (Sulawesi and Lesser Sunda Islands).
