Abstract

Cheilolejeunea pluriplicata (Pearson) R. M. Schust. is a common species thought to be endemic to Africa. It is similar to Asian Cheilolejeunea khasiana (Mitt.) N. Kitag., however, it differs in having fusiform perianths with (6-)7-10 keels. Recent studies reveal the occurrence of C. pluriplicata in China (southern Yunnan) and Nepal. The structure of the sporophyte, elaters, and spores of C. pluriplicata agrees well with that in other species of Cheilolejeunca. A complete description and illustrations of C. pluriplicata are provided.
