Bartramia breuteliiObserver
johnwalterDescription
One of two local species that does not have sheathing (stem clasping) leaves. This specimen has around 30 rows of cells between the edge of the costa and the leaf margin at the base of the leaf. See the last image for detail. Listed as B. species A in Catcheside (1980). This species is not known to create sporophytes in Australia. The leaves tend to remain straight and erect when wet and appressed when dry.

Bartramia robustaObserver
johnwalterDescription
This species also has a sheathing (stem clasping) base. It is generally larger than B. hampeana subsp. hampei and is distinctly bent (or geniculate or kneed) at the transition between the stem clasping leaf base and the green lamina of the leaf. The leaf broadens at this transition to form large rounded "shoulders".

Bartramia hampeanaObserver
johnwalterDescription
This is subspecies hampei but the full name is not available currently in the database. It is similar to B. robusta but is smaller. It has sheathing (stem clasping) leaf bases like B. robusta but the leaves are not geniculate (kneed) like that species. It has an oblong leaf base which then tapers to the lamina without broadening at the shoulder like B. robusta.

johnwalterDescription
Red arrows on image 8 indicate the gap left by the dorsal lamina which mostly does not extend the full length of the leaf. Images 12, 15 and 16 show the obtuse angle (sometimes a curve) formed at the leaf tip. The similar F. oblongifolius has acute leaf tips. The final image shows the attachment of the vaginant lamina.

This species is also listed here on iNat as Pseudoleskea imbricata however current Australian listings use the genus Pseudoleskeopsis.
Photographed here alongside Breutelia affinis, but also commonly seen in this location alongside Braunia imberbis which it closely resembles although the leaves are substantially smaller.
