Kurzia pauciflora (Dicks.) Grolle

Kurzia pauciflora (Dicks.) Grolle View in CoL

The reports for PIE correspond to K. sylvatica and K. trichoclados ( rev. H. Hürlimann). The gatherings of Carestia (Riva Valsesia, Gola Rossa, Ovago d’Otro and Cramisei) correspond to K. trichoclados . Farneti (1894) reports the species doubtfully for LOM (Agro di Como). The reports for TRA by Dalla Torre & Sarnthein (1904) ( sub Lepidozia setacea ) correspond to K. trichoclados . Even though the herbarium specimen is sterile, Gerdol’s determination ( leg. Gerdol 1987, Oberrasen Antholz – Rasun Anterselva above) is almost certainly incorrect given the species’ ecology. All reports for TOS, after revision of the herbarium specimens (Cortini Pedrotti et al. 1991), correspond to K. sylvatica . All the specimens examined were confused with K. sylvatica or K. trichoclados . For the determination of Kurzia , see Stieperaere & Schumacker (1986).
