Abstract

The East Asian Lejeunea claviflora (Steph.) S. Hatt. is synonymous with L. neelgherriana Gottsche, known from Bhutan, China, India, Nepal, Sikkim, and Sri Lanka.

A detailed description and illustration of L. neelgherriana is provided. Taxonomic notes and distribution of L. neelgherriana and Tuyamaella serratistipa are presented.
