Abstract
Damsholt's (1994) conclusion on the identity of Lophozia grooenlandica (Nees) Macoun with L. wenzelii (Nees) Steph. is discussed. It is considered to be erroneous. Lophozia confertifolia Schiffn. is a synonym of L. groenlandica. Included also a discussion on the differences between L. groenlandica and L. ventricosa (Dicks.) Dum.
