REMARKS

A very common species on the Maltese Islands, as already indicated by Sommier & Caruana Gatto (1915); no other member of Fossombronia could be collected. Possibly, other species may develop sporophytes somewhat later in the year and therefore have not been collected. Interestingly, exactly one year ago in second half of January 2017, abundant Fossombronia have been seen in northern limestone part of Cyprus, however, no single sporophyte could be detected there.
