Specimen notes
Supplementary remarks:
costa lacking terminal spine - therfore I do not think this can be referred to Eurhynchium.
Although this speciemn is cited as a paratype of Brachythecium cymbifolium Dix. & Sainsb. (J. Bot., Lond. 71: 249, 1933), it is not hte same speces as the type (a Hodgson collection from Havelock Hills). This specimen differs from B. cymbifolium (i.e. the type) by overall habit, and by having larger, less denticulate, non-recurved (apically) branch leaves. Moore 204 has no bearing on the identity of Brachythecium cymbifolium.
