Specimen notes
Herbarium history:
The K. W. Allison Collection No. 1,027
Supplementary remarks:
No 1027 is certainly D. pumilum as envisaged by Dixon : in fact your finding matches the Fuegian plant better than does Hector's specimen: but there is considerable variation - even in yours - in the degree of acutemess of the apex & in the upper cells, & though the plant is rather conspicuosly distinct from your district's D. aucklandicum, the latter is suspiciously variable in other regions & I have seen specimens of Dicranella egmontensis (wh. [which] I think is inseparable from the Dicranum) where the upper cells are irritatingly changeable ... I wd [would] not feel inclined to separate the Otago plants (from D. acuklandicum K.W.A.) on the characters involved.

Supplementary remarks:
From his Handbook & the above notes, Sainsbury apparently feels doubtful of the claim of D. pumilum to be a New Zealander.
