Bucklandiella chlorocarpa, New Zealand

Bucklandiella chlorocarpa has long been a poorly known, neglected species and has a chequered taxonomic and nomenclatural history (Bednarek-Ochyra, 2015a). Although the epithet ?chlorocarpa? appeared in the literature relatively early, the binomial Grimmia chlorocarpa Mitt. was not validly published(Mitten, 1876a, 1876b, 1882), as was also the case with Racomitrium chlorocarpum Mitt. ex Hook.f. (Hooker, 1867), Dryptodon chlorocarpus Mitt. ex F.Muell. (Mueller, 1881) and Racomitrium chlorocarpum Mitt. ex Bastow (Bastow, 1887). The species was first recognised by Hooker (1867) as an unnamed variety of Racomitrium crispulum (Hook.f. & Wilson) Wilson, which was subsequently raised to species by Paris (1897) as R. chlorocarpum Paris.
