Abstract
Gemmae of T. (Saccobasis) polita (Nees) Schiffn. were observed on plants from Norway collected in 1980. These gemmae differ considerably in form and color from those described by various authors, all of whom base their descriptions on those of T. polita var. acuta Kaalaas. The fact that this variety was referred to T. scitula by Muller has been overlooked; this explains the difference between the morphology of the gemmae observed and the description of the gemmae by Kaalaas and others.This publication has 0 references indexed in Scilit:
