Abstract
Cheilolejeunea tenella (Taylor) J.J. Engel & B.C. Tan (Lejeuneaceae) has a proximal hyaline papilla of the leaf lobule and other typical characters of the genus Lejeunea. It is reinstated here as Lejeunea tenella Taylor. The species has to be excluded from the floras of Indonesia, New Zealand, and the Philippines because previous reports of Cheilolejeunea tenella for these countries are based on misidentifications. The description and illustrations of Lejeunea tenella here provided are based on the type specimen from Singapore.
