In a 1990 monograph in Smithsonian Contributions to Botany (Number 75), Benito Tan and Harold Robinson reviewed the Philippine taxa of Hookeriaceae. Their treatment looked at 11 genera and 36 species in this family of mosses. Alice Tangerini illustrated 15 species for this publication, including Distichophyllum cuspidatumi, a widespread species from Malesia and Oceania, and Leskeodon brevicuspidatus, from Papua New Guinea and Mindanao, Philippines. Tangerini worked on the moss drawings in the spring of 1988 using material from the bryophyte collection. She also inked some sketches of cell drawings made by Tan.
