报道产于云南的中国苔类植物地萼苔科大陆新记录种:锡金裂萼苔(Chiloscyphus sikkimensis(Steph.)J.J.Engel&R.M.Schust.)。本种的主要区别特征有:茎叶倾斜或近横向着生,近轴端凸起,近似圆形,叶边全缘,卵形,先端圆钝或微凹;腹叶心形或肾形,先端圆钝或微凹,一侧或两侧基部与茎叶腹边联生。报道于台湾的Heteroscyphus acutangulus(Schiffn.)Schiffn.实为Chiloscyphus sikkimensis,应被移出中国苔藓植物区系。
Chiloscyphus sikkimensis ( Steph. ) J.J. Engel & R. M. Schust. ( Geocalycaceae, Hepaticae) ,discovered from Yunnan,is reported here as new to mainland of China. This species is characterized as leaves obliquely to subtransversely inserted on stem, adaxially convex, ovate with entire, obtuse or retuse; and underleaves often connate with adjoining leaves at their base on one or both sides, cordate to reniform with obtuse to retuse apex. Heteroscyphus acutangulus (Schiffn.) Schiffn. from Taiwan is actually C. sikkimensis and should be excluded from Chinese bryoflora.
