Notes. – Bazzania gracilis is a widespread neotropical species characterized by the small plants (1 – 2 mm wide) with strongly caducous, entire to shallowly 2-lobed leaves (GRADSTEIN, 2017). Mastigobryum heterophyllum Steph. is identical to B. gracilis . M. H. Fulford (in sched.) already noted this synonymy, but subsequently published M. heterophyllum as a synonym of B. phyllobola Spruce ( FULFORD, 1963).
