AbstractTwo new species,Fissidens cucullatusandF. inaequiretis, are described and illustrated.F. cucullatusis characterized by very obtuse leaves often cucullate at the apex, with highly mamillose, smooth, unipapillose orbipapillose cells and marginal cells of the vaginant laminae often longer than wide. A comparison is made withF. perobtususDix..F. inaequiretishas lax linear leaves with a serrate margin, large thin-walled cells except for marginal band, and an. intramarginal border in lower part of vaginant lamina. It appears to be closest toF. lagunensis(Bartr.) Bartr..F. subkurandaeBartr. is reduced to a synonym ofF. holstiiBroth.
