Yi, Y.-J., Xiao, X.-X., Wu, L. & He, S. 2020. Molecular data affirming a new occurrence of Encalypta streptocarpa (Encalyptaceae, Bryophyta) in Central China. – Herzogia 33: 309 –318.
Encalypta streptocarpa is herein newly reported from Central China, a rare occurrence of this species in Asia. A morphological study and phylogenetic analyses based on rps4 and trnL-F sequences affirm the taxonomic identity of this new population, which represents additional evidence of a Morocco-European-Asiatic disjunct distribution of the species. Photographic images of several noteworthy morphological characters and a full description of the species based on the Chinese specimen are provided.
