The Australian Moss Name Index (AusMoss) is a tool for the botanical community that deals with moss names and their usage in the scientific literature, whether as a current name or synonym. AusMoss does not recommend any particular taxonomy or nomenclature. For a listing of currently accepted scientific names for the Australian mosses, please use the Australian Moss Census (AMC) link above.
distribution:N.S.W., ?Vic., Tas., Macquarie I., Heard I.
remarks:Vitt & Marsh (1988) did not confirm Queensland and Macquarie Island reports. Seppelt (2004: 168) states that: "Although previously reported from Macquarie Island as R. lanuginosum all the specimens examined so far have been referable to R. pruinosum".
