Conservation Status
Invalid (synonym of replacement name Lejeunea drehwaldii) (Heinrichs et al., 2012)
Originally known only from the type collection made in 1922 until it was rediscovered in 2001 (Reiner-Drehwald & Drehwald, 2002), prior to its transfer to the genus Lejeunea which resulted in it being a junior homonym of Lejeunea umbilicata (Nees) Nees, Lindenberg & Gottsche in Meyen (1843) and required a replacement name, Lejeunea drehwaldii (seeHeinrichs et al., 2012).
