Other claims from this paper (14)
- Observation L. pendulus was sister to the remaining Leucodon clade.
- Observation L. coreensis, L. flagellaris, L. immersus and L. sciuroides were closely related with poorly resolved sequence relationships.
- Observation L. coreensis showed some genetic distance but lacked strong support.
- Observation nrITS could not delimit L. flagellaris and L. immersus.
- Observation L. immersus and L. sciuroides differed at two mutations.
- Observation L. sciuroides var. morensis had larger phyllidia and alar regions than var. sciuroides.
- Observation The central strand distinguished L. flagellaris and L. pendulus.
- Observation L. flagellaris has pendent flagelliform shoots distinguishing it from L. immersus.
- Observation L. immersus has larger phyllidia than L. flagellaris.
- Observation Short seta and immerse capsule distinguish L. immersus from L. sciuroides.
- Observation L. immersus gametophytic characters were statistically larger but overlapped with L. sciuroides.
- Observation Central strand distinguishes L. coreensis and L. sciuroides.
- Observation Alar region length did not distinguish L. coreensis from L. sciuroides significantly.
- Recommendation The authors agree with synonymizing the two L. sciuroides varieties.
