| description | <i>Marsupella</i> sect. <i>Stolonicaulon</i> is not speciose and is a commonly neglected section within the genus, which currently includes three species with somewhat similar morphologies (wiry shoots with distanced leaves) and distributions in the mountains of tropical and subtropical regions (SE (Southeast) Asia, the Venezuelan Andes, and the high mountains of SE Brazil). After studying materials that were found to be dissimilar to the “traditional” <i>Marsupella</i> that were collected in the last decade by the authors of this article, it was found that these plants belong to three new-for-science species, and all of these species should be included in <i>Marsupella</i> sect. <i>Stolonicaulon</i>. The newly described species have expanded the boundaries of morphological variability, not only for the section itself, but also for the genus based on two findings: (1) the leaves of <i>Marsupella</i> sect. <i>Stolonicaulon</i> can be either appressed and entire or spaced and deeply divided (thus, the plants could occasionally be similar to <i>Cephaloziella</i> or <i>Anastrophyllum</i>); (2) some species of the section possess regular underleaf production. The first discovery of regular underleaves in <i>Marsupella</i>, as noted in two of the three newly described taxa, is the main morphological novelty described in this paper. The development of regular underleaves is a presumable relict character that brings <i>Marsupella</i> closer to <i>Nardia</i>, which was recently transferred to the Gymnomitriaceae and occupies an isolated position within its own subfamily, Nardioideae. |
