AbstractBased on a study of the type material ofCampylopus pyriformis(Schultz) Brid., var.azoricus(Mitt.) Corley has proved to be identical with var.pyriformis.FurthermoreC. pallidusHook. f.&Wils., a species widely distributed in the southern hemisphere, is identical withC. pyriformis. The disjunction southern hemisphere-Europe is interpreted as the result of introduction in Europe.
