Discussion
Neckera besseri is distinguished from other species of Neckera in the flora area by its small stature and ovate to obovate stem leaves; distribution is limited to eastern North America. K. A. Wagner (1952) and R. R. Ireland (1961) treated this species as Homalia jamesii and H. gracilis, respectively, but He S. (1997) accepted it as Neckera.
Selected References
