Polytrichadelphus magellanicus ( ) |

According to:Klazenga, N. (2015), AusMoss: Catalogue of Australian mosses | |
Published in:Mitten, W. (1859), Descriptions of some new species of Musci from New Zealand and other parts of the Southern Hemisphere, together with an enumeration of the species collected in Tasmania by William Archer, Esq.; arranged upon the plan proposed in the 'Musci Indiae Orientalis'. Journal of the Proceedings of the Linnean Society, Botany 4 [97] | |
Smith (1971: 41) argues that Australian and New Zealand material should be treated as a distinct species, Polytrichadelphus innovans, limiting the APC Dist. of P. magellanicus to Juan Fernandez, southern Chile, the Fuegian region, the Falkland Islands and Tristan da Cunha. Hyvönen (2006: 137) prefers to treat all specimens from both sides of the Pacific as belonging to P. magellanicus. Qld and NSW reports not confirmed by Hyvönen (2006: 137). |

The trait data shown here are a selection from AusTraits, an open-source, harmonised database of Australian plant trait data, sourced from individual researchers, government entities (e.g. herbaria) or NGOs across Australia. Traits vary in scope from morphological attributes (e.g. leaf area, seed mass, plant height) to ecological attributes (e.g. fire response, flowering time, pollinators) and physiological measures of performance (e.g. photosynthetic gas exchange, water-use efficiency.)
These traits are a sampler of those available in AusTraits. The data presented here are summary statistics derived from all field-collected data on adult plants available from AusTraits. Since the data presented are derived from the wide variety of sources in AusTraits, both the numeric trait statistics (min, mean, max) and categorical trait summaries (frequency of each trait value) that have been merged together could include data collected using different methods. The values presented for this species may reflect a summary of data from one or many sources, one or many samples from one or many adult plants at one or many locations. They may therefore differ from those presented elsewhere on the ALA platform and users are encouraged to download a spreadsheet of the full AusTraits data for this species via the download CSV button to view the accompanying details about the data sources before further use.
Categorical Traits
* Data sources in AusTraits report multiple values for this trait, suggesting variation across the taxon's range and life stages.
