Cololejeunea floccosa var. fraseriana Pócs,
var. nov.
C. subg. Taeniolejeunea (Zwickel) Benedix
Figs 9-12
TYPE MATERIAL: southern Queensland: Fraser
Island (Great Sandy National Park): Pile Valley along
Kingfisher Bay–Eurong road, 55 m alt., 25°28.4'S,
153°04.3'E. T. Pócs & H. Streimann 9960/L (HOLOTYPE:
CANB, ISOTYPES EGR, CANB, NSW, BRI, G). Epiphyllous in subtropical rain forest formed by the endemic,
50–60 m tall *Syncarpia hillii* = ‘satinay’ (Myrtaceae). It
grows together with *Cololejeunea tenella* Benedix, *Co-
lolejeunea heinari* sp. n., *Cololejeunea lanciloba* Steph.,
*Cololejeunea vidliana* Tixier, *Colura queenslandica*
B. M. Thiers, *Leptolejeunea* sp. and *Siphomolejeunea*
*elegantissima* (Steph.) Grolle.
It differs from *Cololejeunea floccosa* (Lehm.
& Lindenb. in Lehm.) Schiffn., Consp. Hepat.
Arch. Ind.: 243, 1898, var. floccosa and the other
known varieties by the lack of a true vitta. The
vitta-like part of the lobe is not sharply delimited
and not composed of real ocelli, only of chloro-
phyllose cells, which are larger but show a gradual
transition into normal lobe cells. Similar pseudo-
vitta can be observed in the pantropical *Colole-
jeunea platyneura* (Spruce) A. Evans.
ETYMOLOGY. The variety is named after its
locality, the world’s largest sandy island, rich in
endemic taxa.
