Discussion
The type of Triumfetta indica Lamarck is not conspecific with that of Bartramia indica and blocks transfer of B. indica to Triumfetta. Triumfetta bartramia Linnaeus, which pertains here, is an illegitimate, superfluous name, because Linnaeus cited the earlier B. indica.
Triumfetta rhomboidea is known from Florida only by collections from Broward, DeSoto, and Jackson counties, and from Alabama only by a collection from Houston County.
