AB -It is found that the species Cheilolejeunea ceylanica falls within the circumscription of the polymorphic C. trapezia. The only tenable character that distinguishes the former and the latter is the presence of vitta in leaves of the former. Hence, the name C. ceylanica is reduced to a variety of C. trapezia and a new combination C. trapezia var. ceylanica is made here. Figures and photographs are provided to prove the conclusion. Incidentally, var. ceylanica is an addition to the liverwort flora of India from Courtallam in the Southern Western Ghats.
