Description

Discussion
Monoclea gottschei subsp, elongata is similar to subsp. gottschei but differs in the different size and shape of the androecial receptacle and in its different geographical distribution. The antheridial receptacle in subsp. elongata is usually elongate (slightly to strongly so), rarely orbicular. When orbicular, the receptacle in subsp. elongata may distinguished (when mature) from that of subsp, gottschei by its lesser diam., measuring maximally up to 2.5 mm (3-5 mm in subsp. gottschei). The 2 subspecies have clearly nonoverlapping, allopatric distributions: subsp. elongata has a wide neotropical range whereas subsp. gottschei occurs exclusively in warm-temperate regions of S South America (Gradstein et al., 1992). The status of the 2 subspecies has been confirmed from chloroplast DNA analysis (Meissner et al., 1998).
