Abstract

In the genus Rhizomnium T. Kop. most taxa have a strong leaf border several cells broad and bi- to tristratose. Rhizomnium striatulum (Mitt.) T. Kop. belongs to that group. In Northeast China one population of R. striatulum was found with a very weak leaf border, and also the costa of these plants is weaker than is characteristic for the species. The deviating population is figured and its significance discussed. The distribution of R. striatulum is mapped.
