Abstract

Inoue lectotypified the entire packet (G-010992/G00064158) of Plagiochila cuspidata Steph., but after re-examination, only a single plant in between two mica sheets should be considered the lectotype instead of the entire packet. Furthermore a note on differentiating P. cuspidata and P. parvifolia as two distinct species is provided here.
