  • Scientific Name

    Brymela parkeriana (Hook. & Grev.) W.R.Buck

  • Description

    Distribution and Ecology - Upper Potaro Rtver Region: Ca. 19 mi N of KopinangviUage, 05º05'N, 59°49'W, 720 m, moist forestat base of plateau, epiphytic. Boom & Samuels 8891

  • Discussion

    Although this species has somewhat enlarged outer cortical cells on the stem, these ceUs are not at all thin-walled, like those found in Thamniopsis. Also, the leaf areolation is homogeneous like in Brymela, and thus the species is retained in that genus
