ABSTRACT
Auguste Glaziou went to Brazil in 1858 at the invitation of Emperor D. Pedro II where he worked
as director of the Imperial House of Parks and Gardens in the city of Rio de Janeiro until 1897. He
is considered one of the greatest plant collectors of Brazil and collected numerous bryophytes. The
bryoflora of the state of Rio de Janeiro is one of the richest in the country, but also includes the
highest number of threatened species. Glaziou collected in Rio de Janeiro where the coverage of the
Atlantic Forest suffered a great reduction and loss of biodiversity. The objectives of this work are to
analyze the species registered by Glaziou, assess what percentage of the bryoflora was sampled at that
time, re-collect and evaluate the conservation status of the species. Our results show that 86% of the
species collected by Glaziou have been collected in the state Rio de Janeiro. 4% percent have been
collected in the last 60 years, 10% has not been found in the last 100 years and two species remain
only known from the original Glaziou collection (= type). Our fieldwork recorded 35% of the species
in their original sites. Eighteen species are considered threatened taxa in the state of Rio de Janeiro,
including 16 species that are critically threatened (CR), two threatened (EN), three of little concern
(LC) and one of insufficient data (DD).

RÉSUMÉ
Bryophytes des collections historiques de Glaziou : revisiter la flore de Rio de Janeiro et ses implications
pour la conservation.
Auguste Glaziou est arrivé au Brésil à l’invitation de l’empereur D. Pedro II, où il a été directeur de
la Maison impériale des parcs et jardins de la ville de Rio de Janeiro. Il est considéré comme l’un des
plus grands collectionneurs de plantes de l’histoire brésilienne avec une grande contribution principalement en bryologie. La bryoflore de l’État de Rio de Janeiro est l’une des plus riches du pays,
mais elle est en tête de la liste des espèces végétales menacées. Glaziou a collecté à Rio de Janeiro où
la couverture de la forêt atlantique a subi une réduction et une perte de biodiversité. Les objectifs de
ce travail sont d’analyser les espèces enregistrées par Glaziou, d’évaluer quel pourcentage de la bryoflore a été échantillonné à ce moment-là, de collecter à nouveau et d’évaluer l’état de conservation de
l’espèce. Nos résultats ont montré que 86 % de la liste originale de Glaziou avait déjà été collectée à
Rio de Janeiro. 4 % de cette liste a été collectée au cours des 60 dernières années, 10 % n’a pas été
trouvée au cours des 100 dernières années et deux espèces sont signalées uniquement via le matériel
type de la collection de Glaziou. Dans ce travail de terrain, 35 % des espèces ont été trouvées dans
les sites d’origine. 18 espèces ont été considérées comme présentant un certain degré de menace pour
l’État, une espèce avec des données insuffisantes (DD), deux espèces menacées (EN), 16 espèces en
danger critique d’extinction (CR) et trois espèces peu préoccupantes (LC).
INTRODUCTION
Auguste François Marie Glaziou was born in Lannion, Bretagne
(France) in 1828 and studied botany in Paris at the Muséum
national d’Histoire naturelle. Dom Pedro II, the Brazilian
Emperor, invited him in 1858 to work in Brazil as director
of the Imperial House of Parks and Gardens in Rio de Janeiro
city, where he resided until his return to France in 1897 (Santos
2016). During this time, he carried out much fieldwork and
collaborated in expeditions in the states of Brazil. Glaziou is
considered one of the greatest plant collectors in the Brazilian
history, especially of Rio de Janeiro state (Stafleu & Cowan
1979), who made a great contribution in bryology (Costa et al.
2016). However, Glaziou never worked with bryophytes he
was a collector of plants in general, and the bryophyte identifications were made by specialists in Europe, in particular
Émile Bescherelle at the Paris museum (PC), and his greatest
interest was in the use plants economic.
During his time in Brazil, 22 790 specimens of plants
were recorded in his field notebook, including more than
2500 bryophytes, collected in different parts of the country
either by himself or by countless contributors, of which about
700 were described as new to science (http://glaziou.cria.org.
br/; Santos 2016).
Bryophytes were sampled in Rio de Janeiro state in “Serra dos
Órgãos” (Barcia et al. 1980) where “Raiz da Serra” is located
(currently “Vila Inhomirim»), “Serra da Estrela”; “Fazenda da
Mandioca” (owned by Baron of Langsdorff), “Porto Estrela”
and “Tinguá”; in addition in Serra da Mantiqueira in Itatiaia
National Park, at the border with the states of São Paulo and
Minas Gerais.
The Serra dos Órgãos region is located in the Atlantic Forest and it is one of the areas with greatest diversity in the
Atlantic Forest biome with a large variety of habitats and
high species richness, including several endemics (Veloso &
198
Góes Filho 1982; Costa et al. 2009; Coelho et al. 2017).
The area was explored by many botanists such as C.F.P. Von
Martius (1794-1868), G. Gardner (1812-1849), G.H. Von
Langsdorff (1774-1852), E.H.G. Ule (1854-1915), L. Riedel
(1790-1861), F.C. Hoehne (1882-1959), and A.C. Brade
(1881-1971) (Vellozo 1825; Bediaga & Lima 2015; Coelho
et al. 2017). The first naturalist to study the bryophytes of
Brazil, G. Raddi (1817-1818), had also visited this region
with the Spix & Martius expedition (1817-1823) (Rizzini
1954; Costa 2009).
The bryophyte flora of the Rio de Janeiro state is recognized
as one of the richest in the country, with around 900 species, of which 47 are found only in the state and 12 are
endemic (Costa & Peralta 2015; Coelho et al. 2017), with
125 vulnerable species (VU), 25 threatened (EN) and 147
with deficient data (DD). Among the species considered
Least Concern (LC), many are dependent on the conservation of their habitats (Costa et al. 2005). Itatiaia and Serra
dos Órgãos have the largest number of endemic taxa (Costa
et al. 2005). Rio de Janeiro state leads the list of vascular
plant species at risk of extinction in Brazil, being one of the
states with the highest number of threatened species, or with
interest for conservation and research (Martinelli & Moraes
2013). In addition, this state counts more than 100 species of
plants among those that are not threatened, but with interest
for conservation or research (Martinelli & Moraes 2013).
About 97% of the surface of the state was originally covered
by Atlantic Forest; currently only 19% remains (Fundação
S.O.S. Mata Atlântica 2019). Habitat loss and degradation
are serious threats to bryophytes worldwide (Hallinbäck &
Hodgetts 2000), since the species are extremely sensitive
to environmental disturbances (Vanderpoorten & Hallinbäck 2008). Still, this state together with that of São Paulo
holds the greatest richness of bryophytes in Brazil (http://
floradobrasil.jbrj.gov.br).

When Glaziou collected in Rio de Janeiro state, the area was
still largely covered by Atlantic Forest, making its collections
extremely important for historic bryophyte knowledge. Part
of the areas in which Glaziou collected have been replaced by
farming (annual and perennial crops), silviculture and urban
areas, and abundance and distribution of the species must
over time have been affected by the habitat modifications.
However, comparisons of the long-term changes in species
diversity are not available. Comparative studies of vegetation
over time are essential to identify and understand changes in
vegetation and their broader impacts on local biodiversity,
in addition to being necessary for the application of effective
conservation and management practices.

The bryophytes collected by Glaziou in Brazil were sent to
the herbarium of Paris (PC) and studied by Émile Bescherelle
(1828-1903), who made duplicates for his private collection
and also sent of the mosses to Ernst Hampe (1795-1880)
and of the liverworts to Stephani (1842-1927) in Germany.
After the deaths of Hampe and Stephani the Natural History
Museum, London (BM) as well as the herbarium of Geneva
(G) respectively acquired their collections. The same happened
with the Bescherelle herbarium after his death, so that the
two duplicate sets prepared by Bescherelle ended up in BM.
Many of his collections are also housed in Museu Nacional
do Rio de Janeiro, Brazil (R) (Costa et al. 2016). The collections in PC fortunately have been made available with pictures

and determinations as part of the REFLORA project (http://
glaziou.cria.org.br). The objectives of this study are to analyze
the species collected by Glaziou, assess what percentage of
the actual bryoflora was sampled at that time, re-collect and
evaluate the conservation status of the species recollected.
MATERIAL AND METHODS
SAMPLING AND FIELD WORK
Specimens collected by Glaziou and kept in BM, LE, PC and
R were determined or revised and the label information was
used to map the original collection sites as precise as possible
(Costa et al. 2016). Images of the specimens and labels are
available on the websiteglaziou.splink.org.br. Furthermore,
online databases such as Jabot, Flora do Brasil, Virtual Herbarium of Plants and Fungi, and SpeciesLink were consulted.
Three ten-day expeditions were carried out trying to recollect
the species collected by Glaziou in the state of Rio de Janeiro.
Locations visited included Serra dos Órgãos National Park
CRYPTOGAMIE, BRYOLOGIE • 2021 • 42 (14)
(municipalities of Guapimirim, Petrópolis and Teresópolis),
Serra da Estrela (municipality of Petrópolis), Macaé (municipality of Nova Friburgo), Itatiaia National Park (municipality
of Itatiaia) and Tijuca and Corcovado Forest (municipality
of Rio de Janeiro) (Fig. 1).
IDENTIFICATION AND DATA ANALYSES
The methodology of collection, herborization and preservation of the material followed Vanderpoorten et al. (2010);
samples were deposited in UB with duplicates in SP and
RB. Specimens were identified with the specific literature
and compared with herbarium samples. The classification
systems follow Renzaglia et al. (2009) for Anthocerotophyta, Crandall-Stotler et al. (2009) for Marchantiophyta
and Goffinet et al. (2009) for Bryophyta. To assess the
conservation status of bryophytes in Rio de Janeiro state we
followed Hällingbäck & Hodgetts (2000), evaluating only
species without new records in the last 50 years at Global
Biodiversity Information Facility (GBIF), published papers,
herbariums or field observations. GeoCAT (Geospatial

Two species remain only known from the type material
collected by Glaziou: Eriopus flexicaulis (Hampe) Paris (Daltoniaceae) and Hyophila laetevirens Broth. (Pottiaceae). These
species have already been evaluated (Costa et al. 2016).
The bryophytes collected by Glaziou in the state of Rio de
Janeiro have 26 endemic species to Brazil (7%), to the Atlantic
Forest (5%) and have not been re-collected for more than 50
years. Eighteen of them are considered threatened: one with
insufficient data (DD), two endangered (EN), 16 critically
endangered (CR) and three little concerned (LC) (Table 2).

assessment and analysis (http://geocat.kew.org/).
RESULTS
We analyzed c. 3000 bryophyte specimens from herbaria and
new collections. Of 169 species collected by Glaziou in the
state of Rio de Janeiro, 95 (56%) were re-collected by other
collectors in the state of Rio de Janeiro during the last 30 years
(Fig. 2). Twenty-one species (12%) are not recorded in Rio de
Janeiro state but in areas of the Amazon and Cerrado biomes.
This makes us believe that these species were erroneously cited
by Glaziou for Rio de Janeiro.
In our fieldwork, 51 species (35%) were found, which added
to the 95 species (65%) found by other collectors a total of
146 species found in Brazil in the last 30 years, and do not
suffer any kind of threat (Fig. 3). In the total of 169 species,
23 remaining species (14%) are considered threatened here,
with 7 species (4%) collected only in the last 60 years and
16 species (10%) that have not been found for more than
100 years.

Auguste Glaziou made a major contribution to the study of
botany with a large number of important historical floristics
records for the state in locations that today have been modified
by population growth, urbanization and agricultural expansion.
Most bryophyte species recorded by Glaziou are not threatened. Our results provide information about their distribution, ecology, as well as about conservation status, and allows
the planning of actions that minimize the impacts that may
affect the bryophytes.
Lepidopilum flexicaule Hampe (nowadays Eriopus flexicaulis)
remains unknown since having been collected by Glaziou and
was not taxonomically evaluated since its publication. Churchill
(1998) does not include this taxon in the Neotropical revision of Lepidopilum, nor it is included in the Flora do Brazil
online (http://floradobrasil.jbrj.gov.br). Taxonomic revisions
are extremely important for our knowledge of organisms, their
geographic distribution and conservation status.
Hyophila laetevirens was collected by Glaziou in 1878 on
Corcovado hill and was described by Brotherus (1849-1929)
in 1895; the lectotype is in PC and a duplicate is in BM
according with Costa et al. (2016).
The recollection of bryophyte species collected by Glaziou
has mainly been done in the last forty years. By the end of
the 1970s, only about 10 species listed by Glaziou had been
re-collected, probably because most botanists in Brazil had
worked on vascular plants, and there were only very few
bryophyte specialists.
The number of bryophyte species indicated here as threatened
are associated with forest remains in the State and emphasize
the needs of updating the State’s list of endangered species. In
addition, data inconsistencies within the official List of Species of the Endangered Flora for the state of Rio de Janeiro
resulted in the occasional use of ancillary lists, such as those
published for the other states and other biomes from Brazil,
therefore, we consider all the essential lists of bryophytes in
Rio de Janeiro.
The assessment of the conservation status of bryophyte
species in the state showed that the categories indicated as
threatened have a restricted area of occupation, with few
localities of occurrence. The state of Rio de Janeiro presents
an expressive contribution of great richness and diversity of
Brazilian bryophytes, mainly related to its interior of the
Atlantic Forest ecosystem. The threatened species indicated

here presents their geographic distribution well represented in
Conservation Units. Among the fully protected Conservation
Units with the largest number of endemic flora species in the
state of Rio de Janeiro, the Serra dos Órgãos National Park,
Tijuca National Park and Itatiaia National Park stand out.
The increasing number of specimens to the present day shows
an advance in science as the technologies used in botany studies
increase, especially in the group of bryophytes, as well as the
training of specialists from the years 80’s of the 20th century.
This data set of the research shows that the biodiversity in the
places of the collection areas by the naturalist did not suffer
relevant impacts. Since, most species were found in regions
that today are in Conservation Units areas. These areas are
fully protected and have the function of ensuring the representativeness of significant and ecologically viable samples
from the different populations, habitats and ecosystems of the
national territory, preserving the existing biological heritage
(MMA 2019). In addition, they guarantee traditional populations the sustainable use of natural resources in a rational
way and still provide the surrounding communities with the
development of sustainable economic activities (MMA 2019).
