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.
remarks:Stoneburner (1985: 312) synonymised Weissia viridula var. gymnostoma with Trichostomum brachydontium. Fife (1995: 331) regarded this a synonym of Weissia patula, but considered W. patula a New Zealand endemic. There is a specimen of W. patula from New South Wales in MEL (Woolls s.n. (MEL 1002869), det. P. Sollman).
