The genus Mylia has been included in the Plagiochilaceae since Mueller (1951-54) and this disposition was accepted by Inoue (1958) and Schuster (1959). However, Grolle (1963) proposed the Jungermanniaceae subf. Mylioideae which differs from the Plagiochilaceae by the dense rhizoids on the postical side of stem, presence of gemmae, and uniseriate antheridial stalk. In Taiwan, only a single species of the genus Mylia, M. verrucosa, has been reported by Horikawa (1934) and Inoue (1961). Although the most important characteristic of M. verrucosa is the peculiar protuberances on the lower half of perianth wall, the Taiwan specimens of M. verrucosa on which the previous reports were based had no protuberances at all, and had a perianth just like that of M. taylori. Several specimens of Mylia verrucosa collected in Taiwan were carefully compared with M. taylori and M. verrucosa, and we have concluded that the Taiwan species is obviously an undescribed species. |
