Discussion:

Leucoloma mariei resembes a large form of L. cruegerianum, but it differs in its elongate upper leaf cells and strongly pitted basal cells. Phylogenetically the species appears closest to L. serrulatum as judged by the similarity of its leaf cells to the basal and interior limbidial cells of L. serrulatum. Previously known only from Guadeloupe and Puerto Rico, the presence of L. mariei in Belize is a good example of the affinity of the moss flora in this region of Central America to that of the Caribbean.
