A revisionary study of the genus Ptychomitrium showed that Ptychomitrium balansae Besch. and P. microblastum (C. Muell.) Par. are new synonyms of P. muelleri (Mitt.) Jaeg. The study markedly expands the geographical range of P. muelleri from Australia to New Caledonia, South America and South Africa. Ptychomitrium muelleri is an important species in the floral relationships between Australia, South America, and South Africa in the genus Ptychomitrium.
