Concept ReferenceCaparrós R., F. Lara, I. Draper, V. Mazimpaka, and R. Garilleti. 2016. Integrative taxonomy sheds light on an old problem: the Ulota crispa complex (Orthotrichaceae, Musci). Bot. J. Linn. Soc. 180(4): 427-451.
Taxonomic CommentsBased on morphological and molecular analyses, Caparros et al. (2016) recognize Ulota crispa, U. crispula, and U. intermedia as distinct species. Anderson et al. (1990) included U. crispula and U. intermedia in a broader U. crispa. Flora of North America Editorial Committee (2014) includes U. crispula in U. crispa and does not mention U. intermedia.
