status

sect. nov.

Scapania sect. Hyperboreae Vana, Hentschel, Joch. Muell. & Heinrichs sect. nov.

Diagnosis.

Species of Scapania sect. Hyperboreae resemble members of Scapania sect. Curtae ( Müll. Frib.) H. Buch but differ by the presence of brownish to reddish gemmae, and a usually larger size.

Type.

Scapania hyperborea Jørg., Förh. Vidensk.-Selsk. Kristiania 1894(8): 56. 1894.

Note.

The presence of the type species of Scapania sect. Irriguae ( Müll. Frib.) H. Buch, Scapania irrigua (Nees) Nees, in Scapania sect. Curtae necessitates the introduction of a new section for the remaining elements of Scapania sect. Irriguae. Molecular data so far supported the presence of Scapania paludicola Loeske & Müll. Frib. and Scapania tundrae (Arnell) H. Buch in S. subg. Scapania sect. Hyperboreae, as well as Scapania hyperborea ( Vilnet et al. 2010; Heinrichs et al. 2012).
