Abstract

Recent phylogenetic inferences indicate that Physcomitrella readeri is not closely related to P. patens. Consequently the genus Ephemerella was resurrected to accommodate the former. However, based on its type, Ephemerella has been merged with Ephemerum. The correct generic name for P. readeri should be Physcomitridium G.Roth, of which Ephemerella readeri Müll.Hal. is the type.
