Abstract:Gymnostomiella monodii P. de la Varde is reported in China for the first time. This species is characterized by the small plants, margins plane and crenulated distally by sharply bulging cell walls, apiculate and very broadly acute leaf apex, upper laminal cells with 0-1(-2) papillae, and claviform gemmae. A key to the species of Gymnostomiella known in China is provided.
