ABSTRACT. ITS sequences of taxonomically difficult complexes in the genus Dicranum, D. fuscescens-D. flexicaule and D. brevifolium-D. acutifolium-D. pseudacutifolium, are analyzed. Type specimens of D. pseudacutifolium are found to be poorly develo­ped specimens of D. flexicaule and therefore the former name is synonymizedwith the latter. At the same time, several specimens previously identified as D. brevifolium were found to be in a separate clade; they also have morphological differences and are described as a new species, D. septentrionale sp. nova.
