Abstract
Fissidens bassilae sp. nov. is described and illustrated from Benin. This terrestrial species is characterized by large cells, persistent protonemata and limbidia restricted to the vaginant laminae of some perichaetial leaves. The similar Asian-Australian F. flabellulus Thwaites & Mitt. var. flabellulus has smaller cells, all leaves elimbate and lacks persistent protonemata. The new species belongs to Fissidens subg. Polypodiopsis.
