Schuster) Pócs, Cololejeunea subscariosa (Spruce) Pócs and the following new synonymy is established: Physocolea reflexiloba Steph. and Cololejeunea reflexifolia (Steph.) Tixier are new synonyms of Cololejeunea inflectens (Mitt.) Benedix; Lejeunea ensifolia Spruce, Physocolea ensifolia (Spruce) Steph., Physocolea elliptica Steph. and Cololejeunea elliptica (Steph.) S.
