B. viridis has been recorded incorrectly in Shaanxi Province for more than 100 years, it is the first time to find its existence. In this paper, the morphological characters, distribution and habitat of this species are described, the peristome and spore are observed by scanning electron microscopy. Based on the above observations, a key to the genus Buxbaumia in China and illustrations of B. viridis are presented, and the historical distribution in China is rectified.
