Abstract A synopsis of the New Zealand representatives of
Schistidium is presented, treating
S. apocarpum,
S.
rivulare var.
rivulare, and
S. rivulare var.
subflexifolium stat. et comb. nov. The var.
subflexifolium is
based upon
Grimmia subflexifolia Müll. Hal., an alpine and
apparently endemic taxon which has been ignored since its description in 1898.
The distribution, ecology, and affinities of
Racomitrium curiosissimum,
a recently described but little documented South I. endemic, are outlined.
Keywords mosses; Grimmiaceae; Schistidium;
Grimmia; Racomitrium; Schistidium rivulare var.
subflexifolium stat. et comb. nov.; Racomitrium
