Preferred name:
Wijkia extenuata (Brid.) H.A.Crum
Division:
Bryophyta
Class:
Bryatae
Family:
Sematophyllaceae
Identification type:
Confirmation
Note:
Laminal cells papillose abaxially. As with many epiphytic species, W. extenuata can sometimes assume a pendent habit (e.g. K.W. Allison 2294 ex Rotorua, CHR WIJKIA EXTENUATA (BRID.) H.A.CRUM STERILEXX; J-P. Frahm 11-8 ex Wills Hut Trail, Otago, CHR 503325). In pendent populations the leaves are characteristically narrowly lanceolate or ovate-lanceolate ± evenly tapered to a slender and nearly entire acumen. The branch leaves in such material are longer (to at least 1.6 mm) and finer than usual and ± evenly tapered to a slender and nearly entire acumen; the branch leaf laminal cells here are often less porose and can be either smooth or papillose abaxially.
