The taxonomic and nomenclatural implications of phylogenetic studies of the Bryaceae are presented. Bryum algovicum Müll. Hal., B. archangelicum Müll. Hal., B. capillare Hedw., B. bimum (Schreb.) Turner, B. cyclophyllum (Schwägr.) Bruch & Schimp., B. donianum Grev., B. lisae De Not., B. meesioides Kindb., B. orthothecium Card. & Broth., B. pallens Sw., B. pallescens Schwägr., B. purpurascens (R. Br.) Bruch & Schimp., B. uliginosum (Brid.) Bruch & Schimp., and B. wrightii Sull. are transferred to Plagiobryum Lindb. Brachymenium acuminatum Harv., B. philonotula Broth., and B. preissianum Hampe (A. Jaeger) are transferred to Bryum Hedw. Finally, the genus Imbribryum is described comprising B. alpinum With, B. blandum Hook. f. & Wilson, and Bryum muehlenbeckii Bruch & Schimp.
