Nomenclatural Comment
The holotype of the basionym, Trichostomum cockaynei (CHR 335724), is located in the Robert Brown herbarium at CHR. It contains only a single species, unlike material examined by Dixon which he noted was largely Barbula australasiae “with a few stems of a moss which I take to be identical with W. weymouthii” (Dixon 1923 p. 113). This observation appears to be the basis of Dixon’s placing Trichostomum cockaynei in the synonymy of Weissia weymouthii. Examination of the CHR holotype confirms Dixon’s decision, although the epithet cockaynei has priority over weymouthii.” (J.E. Beever, pers. comm. 27 June 2022, from text for forthcoming treatment of Pottiaceae for Flora of New Zealand Mosses)
