Other claims from this paper (4)
- Observation Rehubryum and Ulota are distinguished by two consistent gametophytic traits.
- Observation R. kiwi overlaps with Atlantichella in key morphology, making their morphological separation untenable.
- Observation Rehubryum and Atlantichella have a striking interhemispheric disjunction.
- Observation Species-level distinctions remain well defined in sporophytic traits and geographic distribution.
