Bucklandiella didyma

 

It is only in recent years that this moss has been segregated from the Racomitrium genus and placed under Bucklandiella.
It passed off as B. emersa for a few years until the determiation that it was conspecific with B. didyma from South America, the latter name taking precedence because it was described earlier. A taxonomic paper on the subject is in preparation.

A key¹ to Australasian Bucklandiella has been included in the reference below.
