Abstract

Schistidium Bruch & Schimper (in Bruch et al. 1845: 93) is one of the most complex and difficult moss genera, and is still poorly known and understudied taxonomically in South America. In the Neotropics, there are around twenty names for this genus without a real status acknowledged (Churchill et al., 2000) as no taxonomical or nomenclatural revision was ever conducted.
