Dear Niels,
Hello! I have gone back and forth with several people about the validity of L. candidum, and it appears to be a place of conflict between Australian and Kiwi bryologists. Since I'm no expert in this field, this needs the attention of curator more familiar with bryophyte literature and biology.
Thanks,
Brendan

Please turn this back! Leucobryum javense (https://www.bryonames.org/synonymy?search=Leucobryum+javense) and Leucobryum candidum (https://www.bryonames.org/synonymy?search=Leucobryum+candidum) are different species. Leucobryum candidum was synonimised with Leucobryum javense in the Bryophyte Flora of the Huon Peninsula (Enroth 1990; https://tropicos.org/reference/9007946), but this was later refuted in the more thorough revision by Yamaguchi (1993; https://tropicos.org/reference/9012327). The Flora of New Zealand only still has this synonymy, because they present a 20+ year old treatment as new without checking the names. Leucobryum candidum is recognised in Australia and in the World Checklist (https://bryonames.org).
