Note text

"Distichophyllum zuernii Schlieph. in Müll.Hal. (1902) and Hookeria microclada Colenso (1886) were both placed in the synonymy of D. amblyophyllum by Dixon (1927, p. 283), who saw type material of the former, but not the latter. Types of these names have not been seen for this treatment, but little purpose would be served by questioning Dixon’s synonymies." D. ambylophyllum is now regared as a synonym of Distichophyllum pulchellum.
