taxonomic synonym: Racomitrium leptostomoides J.B.Först. legitimate
  • APC Dist.: LHI
  • distribution: ?Lord Howe I.
  • remarks: Known only from Lord Howe Island from the type of R. leptostomoides J.B.Först. As R. japonicum is otherwise restricted to Japan, south-eastern Siberia, Korea, China and northern Vietnam and the putative collector of the specimen (T.B. Moore) is only known to have collected on Tasmania it is doubtful that the type specimen came from Lord Howe Island (Vitt et al. 1993: 458, 460).
