Of these, 12 are new records for southwestern China and four are new to mainland China. Neckera undulatifolia (Tix.) Enroth is new to China (including Taiwan). Symblepharis guizhouensis Tan et al. is a new name proposed to replace S. breviseta Bartr., an illegitimat e homonym, and Orthothecium hyalopiliferum Redfearn & Allen is reduced to the synonymy of O. intricatum (Hartm.)
