| description | Based on the identification of one specimen from Matoushan Nature Reserve, Leucomium strumosum was reported from Jiangxi Province, China for the first time. The family Leucomiaceae and genus Leucomium Mitt. were also new to this province. A detailed description of gemetophytic characteristics and illustrations of this species were provided. L. strumosum is morphologically closest to Vesicularia reticulata which is common in China, but the latter is densely pinnately branched, has pseudoparaphyllia, as well as a distinct double costa and clearly serrulate upper margins in the leaves which differs from L. strumosum. Some features, such as the small and rare plants, absence of sporophytes, suggested that the evergreen broad-leaved forests in Matoushan do not provide an optimally ecological environment for L. strumosum. |
