(Jan Louis) Phephu, Nonkululo Africa Anatomy Characters Distribution Ecology Morphology Pelekium Thuidiopsis Thuidium UCTD Dissertation (MSc)--University of Pretoria, 2013. A taxonomic revision of the family Thuidiaceae Schimp. for Africa and the east African Islands is presented. Three genera, namely, Pelekium Mitt., Thuidiopsis (Broth.) M. Fleisch. and Thuidium Bruch & Schimp., and 16 species are accepted and revised for the region. The nomenclature, keys to genera and species, descriptions, illustrations and distribution maps are included. Thuidiaceae is one of over 40 families that belong to the Hypnales which is known to contain the most diversity among pleurocarpous mosses. Members of the Thuidiaceae are characterised by gametophytes with attractive, regularly 2- or 3-pinnate branching, presence of paraphyllia on surfaces of stems and branches, dimorphic stem and branch leaves, longitudinally plicate leaves with a single costa, papillose leaf cells, and a hypnoid peristome. Abietinella Müll. Hal., Haplocladium (Müll. Hal.) Müll. Hal., Hylocomiopsis Cardot and Rauiella Reimers are excluded from African Thuidiaceae. Thuidium involvens var. thomeanum Broth. is raised to species status under Pelekium, as Pelekium thomeanum (Broth.) Phephu. Thuidium pseudoinvolvens (Müll. Hal.) A. Jaeger is also transferred to Pelekium and the new combination Pelekium pseudoinvolvens (Müll. Hal.) Phephu is proposed. gm2014 Plant Science unrestricted 2014-07-30T07:40:05Z 2014-07-30T07:40:05Z 2014-04-09 2013 Dissertation Phephu, N 2013, A taxonomic revision of Thuidiaceae (Bryophyta) in Africa and the East African islands, MSc dissertation, University of Pretoria, Pretoria, viewed yymmdd <http://hdl.handle.net/2263/41007> E14/4/317/gm http://hdl.handle.net/2263/41007 en © 2013 University of Pretoria.
