minuta (1830).
Pinnatella engleri (Broth.). Fleisch. = P. minuta
(1830).
Pinnatella flagellacea (Mitt.). Broth. ex Par. = .Ho-
maliodendron piniforme (1300)

Leptodon fuciformis (301).

liodendron piniforme (1300).

(1830).
Pinnatella tamariscina (Hampe). Broth. = Homalio-
dendron piniforme (1300).
Pinnatella usagara (Mitt.). Broth. = Porotrichum
usagarum (299).
Pinnatella vignolo-lutatii Tosco & Piovano, nom.
inval. = Porotrichum elongatum (1830).
Pireella filicina (Hedw.) Card. Excluded. It is unlikely
that this neotropical taxon occurs in Africa (A.E.
Newton, pers. comm.), and this 1827 record from
Réunion (105) is thus suspect. It appears in Bridel
(77) amongst various neotropical records.
