This dataset contains the digitized treatments in Plazi based on the original journal article Huang, Wen-Zhuan, Shen, Chao, Xu, Hao, Shang, Hai-Zhong, Xiang, Yue-Ting, Zhang, Qin-Hao, Wu, Yu-Huan, Zhu, Rui-Liang (2026): Ignatovia U. B. Deshmukh (Leskeaceae, Bryophyta), a monospecific genus endemic to Russia, newly found in Beijing, China with special references to its complete organelle genomes. Cryptogamie, Bryologie 47 (3): 37-45, DOI: 10.5252/cryptogamie-bryologie2026v47a3, URL: dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.compbiomed.2025.111426 ABSTRACT The genus Ignatovia U.B.Deshmukh comprises the sole species Ignatovia microphylla (Ignatov & Ignatova) U.B.Deshmukh, which has been thus far known only from Russia.

During our recent expeditions to Shangfangshan National Forest Park in Beijing, China, we encountered an interesting moss that can be assignable to I. microphylla, characterized by small leaves, round to oblate and thick-walled lamina cells that are somewhat bulging abaxially, nearly homogeneous thick-walled cells in the cross-section of the stem, a cross-section of the costa without stereids, and triangular inner perichaetial leaves.
