William Bell’s collection 643 (the type of Orthotrichum pseudo-pumilum Vent.) is the source of considerable confusion. Bell 643 is probably an aggregated collection (there at least two duplicates of Bell 643 in the Beckett herbarium, and they include at least three different Orthotrichum taxa). It is possible that part of the collection came from trees and part from rock (judging from the assortment of species present in various duplicates). Lewinsky cited a duplicate in BM as an isotype of Venturi’s O. pseudo-pumilum, which she placed in the synonymy of O. cyathifrome R.Br.bis. There is some O. cyathiforme present in one duplicate in the Beckett herbarium. It is best to not question Lewinsky’s synonymy.
