Nomenclatural Comment
The epithet pyriforme means pear-shaped, and refers to the form of the mature capsules., Type locality: Europe. Not seen. Gymnostomum pyriforme Hedw. has apparently never been lectotypified. A lectotype would ideally be chosen from the Hedwigian herbarium at G. Hedwig (1801) gives little information that would facilitate a selection, although he cites literature by several earlier authors. Although this is a very widely distributed species, the selection of a lectotype is essentially a European problem. There is no evidence that Hedwig sighted any of the photographed specimens on JSTOR (accessed 22 Jun 2017).
