History of discovery

Johann Georg Christian Lehmann originally described the species in 1829 as Jungermannia colorata. In 1893 Victor Félix Schiffner moved the species to the genus Jamesoniella. Kaalaas described what he thought was a new species in 1911, but which was later reduced to a synonym by Grolle in 1971.
