Fissidens cuynetii Bizot , Acta Botanica Academiae Scientiarum Hungaricae 18: 21, f. 6: 1-3 ( Bizot 1973). — Lectotype (designated here): Uganda • Ankole district , Moutozho; sur rochers ensolleillées; 1300 m alt.; XII.1967; Balázs 96 G; MNHN[ PC0073300 ].
REMARKS
The lectotypification of this species is rather complicated. On page 11 of Bizot (1973) is a footnote that says that holotypes of new species described in the paper are in DI (where Bizot used to work; after his death in 1979 his herbarium went to PC) and isotypes in EGR. Thus Pócs’ 1977 ‘typification’ of F. cuynetii that says holotype in EGR, isotype in PC, is not effective because it is in contradiction with the protologue. A further complication is that the protologue gives the collection number Balázs 96, whereas in Bizot’s herbarium in PC there are Balázs 96 D MNHN[PC0073299] and Balázs 96 G MNHN[PC0073300]. Balázs 96 G MNHN[PC0073300] is here designated lectotype because it has a note in Bizot’s handwriting saying “sp. nov.” and all information on its label is by Pócs (who donated the material to Bizot for identification), whereas the information on 96 D is just a handwritten copy of MNHN[PC0073300] by Bizot.
