- Observation The authors recognize R. kiwi as a new species.
- 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.
