[Grimmia
austrofunalis auct. non Müll.Hal. (syn. G. britannica A.J.E.Sm.,
G. trichophylla var. robusta (Fergusson)
A.J.E.Sm.) The only specimen reported from Cornwall (boulders on cliffs,
Sennen Cove, vc1, 1967, TL (BBSUK
C.2001.019.359), Crundwell 1969: 883) was reidentified as
typical G. trichophylla, det.
DTH, conf. AJES (Rothero 2000: 52) but should now be placed as
G. lisae along with
other 'G. trichophylla s. l.' from that
locality (redet. J. Muņoz 1998, DTH 2004). Greven (1997)
regarded G. britannica (syn. G. trichophylla var. robusta) as a synonym
of the Southern Hemisphere species G. austrofunalis, and
this treatment was followed by Blockeel & Long (1998: 104)
and Greven (2003: 68). However, J. Muņoz (in Muņoz & Pando
2000: 21 and in Smith 2004: 451) has found that all specimens
from Europe placed as this
taxon belong either to G. trichophylla or G. longirostris Hook.
and that G. austrofunalis does
not occur in the Northern
Hemisphere.]
