The Fissidens bryoides complex is very variable. Five varieties of Fissidens bryoides have been reported from China. It is quite difficult to identify these varieties, especially when only vegetative plants are present since the classification of the complex is mainly based on the sexuality and distribution of gametangia rather than on the types of limbidia (Iwatsuki & Suzuki 1982).
