COMMENT
Doubtfully present in Algeria. The report of this Circumpolar Temperate species ( Blockeel et al. 2014b) in Algeria is based on a single specimen, and its reliability is doubtful. Due to the difficulty in locating this collection to be revised, the species can only remain in the Algerian catalogue if new specimens are found.
Pylaisia polyantha fo. gracillima Besch. was described by Bescherelle (1882) from Sahara d’Oran, entre Chellala et Arba-Tatani, and later compiled inJelenc (1955a). According to Ros et al. (2013), its identity has not been revised since. Its taxonomic value is doubtful.
