considered endemic to the European Alps. It was
known in Austria, Germany, Italy and Switzerland
(Holyoak & Köckinger, 2010). Recently, it was
reported for the first time for Asia from Zabaikalsky
Territory, southern Siberia (Ellis et al., 2014a), and
was later found in the Republic of Sakha/Yakutia
and Primorsky Territory, Far East (Czernyadjeva
et al., 2015). These records in Siberia and the
Russian Far East confirm a highly disjunctive distribution of the species in Eurasia. Therefore, its presence
in the Caucasus was quite predictable. In future, A.
bavaricum may be found in the other regions of the
Caucasus, especially in Dagestan, Chechnya, and
Ingushetia.
This species was described and illustrated in revisions of Anomobryum Schimp. for Europe and Asia
by Holyoak & Köckinger (2010) and for Russia by
Czernyadjeva et al. (2015). It is characterised by an
acuminate leaf apex, mostly excurrent costa, rectangular to long rectangular basal cells in the
leaves, often with 1–3 rows of much narrower marginal cells, and numerous reddish-brown bulbils in
the leaf axils with leaf primordia mostly confined
to the upper half.
Anomobryum bavaricum occurs mainly in mountainous areas, often as a pioneer colonist, preferring calcareous rocky outcrops. In North Osetiya its shoots
were collected on bare soil with Bryum argenteum

Globally, B. convoluta is very widespread and is
recorded from most continents, often associated with
man-made or otherwise disturbed habitats. All
African records, except those from the Cape Verde
Islands, are from eastern and southern parts of the
continent (O’Shea, 2006).

(MEXU).
There are several characters that distinguish this
species: firm-walled cells of the leaf shoulder, a synoicous condition and gymnostomous capsules. Its
known distribution now includes Mexico, Costa
Rica, Panama, Colombia and Venezuela.
Crum (1951), followed by Sharp et al. (1994),
increased the probable number of taxa in the
Mexican moss flora to 942. Subsequently, further
taxa new to the Neotropics have been recorded in
the LATMOSS database (Delgadillo et al., 1995).
The present record and 10 other contributions in this
column by CDM and PPR increase the Mexican
moss flora to 989 species.

(MEXU) (originally identified by H. Ochi).
This species was transferred to Rosulabryum
J.R.Spence (Spence, 2009) on the basis of ‘evenly
foliate stems, temperate distribution and ecology
(growing on soil)’. The type population could not be
located; Spence (2009) did not examine the holotype
but suggested that the species was similar to
Rosulabryum densifolium (Bridel) Ochyra. The present
specimen had robust, evenly foliate plants with oblongspatulate leaves, which were spirally twisted when dry,
had a well-differentiated margin, were toothed from
mid-leaf to the apex and were narrowly revolute in the
lower half with a narrowly decurrent base. Spore capsules were nodding, but poorly preserved.
The species is known from the United States and
Mexico.

The collection consists of small rosulate, bright
green plants, with erect to imbricate, concave, oblong
to oblong-lingulate leaves. The leaf margins are narrowly revolute in the lower two-thirds and denticulate
toward the apex; the hair point is reddish at the base
and hyaline distally, smooth or toothed in the same
plant. It has cylindrical, erect spore capsules.
Brachymenium morasicum is similar to B. systylium
(Müll.Hal.) A.Jaeger (Allen, 2002) and occurs in
Mexico, Guatemala, Costa Rica, Colombia and
Brazil.

adjacent cells. According to Ignatov (2014), the distribution of this species includes California and New
Mexico in the United States but not Mexico. The
specimens cited above come from high elevations
and seem to conform well with Ignatov’s description.
Brachythecium salebrosum occurs in Canada, United
States, Mexico, Europe, Asia, Africa and Australia.

Crum (1951) listed this species for Mexico but did
not include it in his treatment for the Flora of
Mexico (Crum, 1994a). However, recent taxonomic
work by De Luna & Gómez-Velasco (2008) indicates
that this is a distinct taxon distinguished from other
Mexican species of Braunia Bruch & Schimp. by the
dentate hyaline leaf apex and cylindrical capsule.
Also, ‘B. plicata has strongly plicate leaves with the
leaf acumen broad, hyaline, strongly papillose and
with a dentate margin’ (De Luna, 2016).
The species is known from Mexico, Peru, Bolivia,
Brazil, Paraguay and Argentina.

et al., 2001) and in Russia (Siberia) (Fedosov &
Ignatova, 2008). In the tropics it is apparently frequent
from Mexico north to Peru, but is less widespread in
Africa where it is recorded from Ethiopia, Tanzania,
Reunion and Rwanda (O’Shea, 2006; Sollman &
Ochyra in Ellis et al., 2012b). It is also present in
Macaronesia, Azores, Madeira, Canary Islands and
in the Cape Verde Islands (Frahm et al., 1996).
In mainland Europe, it was very recently reported
from France (Pyrénées-Orientales, Saint-Laurent-deCerdans) (Hugonnot & Chavoutier, 2015), close to
the only hitherto known European locality in Spain
(Gerona), also in the eastern Pyrenees (Lloret, 1988),
but it has not been seen in the latter locality since
1987 and is listed as Near Threatened (Brugués &
González-Mancebo, 2012). Bryoerythrophyllum inaequalifoium is thus reported as new to Portugal, represented by two localities in Serra de Monchique and
one locality in Serra de Sintra.
Bryoerythrophyllum inaequalifoium occurred as
scattered individuals or in small patches mixed with
the above associates, restricted to only a few metres
of ground. Sporophytes were not seen but abundant
distinctive unicellular dark brown axillary gemmae
were present. It is noteworthy that B. campylocarpum
(Müll.Hal.) H.A.Crum was recorded as an associate
of B. inaequalifolium in Rwanda (Sollman & Ochyra
in Ellis et al., 2012b), an association also seen in
Serra de Monchique in Portugal.

P.C.Chen has long been considered the only species
of Bryoerythrophyllum P.C.Chen in the Antarctic
(Ochyra & Zander, 2002; Ochyra et al., 2008b).
However, Sollman (2015) has shown that this genus
actually consists of three species in this biome, B.
recurvirostrum, B. antarcticum (L.I.Savicz &
Smirnova) P.Sollman and B. rubrum (Geh.)
P.C.Chen. The latter is widely distributed but rare
and scattered in the maritime Antarctic, occurring in
the South Orkney Islands and South Shetland
Islands archipelagoes, as well as on Alexander
Island, whilst in the continental Antarctic it is exceedingly rare in the Vestfold Hills in Princess Elizabeth
Land. In the South Shetland Islands, it is known
only from King George Island, the largest island of
the archipelago (Ellis et al., 2016). Now this species
is recorded from the neighbouring Nelson Island
Bryological Note
from where it was previously reported also as B. recurvirostrum (Ellis et al., 2013a) and it is very likely that it
is a newcomer in the moss flora of this island, having
reached here after the Last Glacial Maximum
(Birkenmajer et al., 1985). Until recently, 111 species
and two varieties had been recorded from the
Antarctic (Ochyra et al., 2008a, 2008b), but the
latest discoveries of four distinct species (Ellis et al.,
2013a, 2013b; Sollman, 2015) increased this number
to 115 species and two varieties.

Spence (2007) cited this taxon as Rosulabryum flaccidum (Brid.) J.R.Spence, which he characterised in a
later publication (Spence, 2014). In Mexico, it is represented by small evenly foliate plants; the leaves
remote and erect with margins distally serrulate and
weakly bordered by 1–2 rows of cells; the costa ends
below the leaf apex. The reddish to brown filiform
gemmae are papillose, abundant and evident in the
Mexican specimens which are otherwise sterile. B.
capillare var. flaccidum occurs in the United States,
Mexico and the West Indies.

Bucklandiella dichelymoides is one of the rarest
species of Bucklandiella Roiv. It is a narrow endemic
of the Colombian Andes, where it occurs mostly in
the Cordillera Oriental and some solitary localities in
the Cordillera Central and Cordillera Occidental at
altimontane elevations, ranging from 3150 to 4520 m
a.s.l. (Bednarek-Ochyra, 2006). Hitherto, the species
has been recorded in three departments of Colombia,
namely Caldas, Cundinamarca and Nariño, and
herein it recorded for the first time in the fourth
department of Boyáca. Two specimens of B. dichelymoides were collected by the Cambridge Expedition
to the Cordillera Oriental in 1957 at elevations of
4000 and 4100 m a.s.l. which, beside the collection
from department of Caldas, are the highest records
of the species.
Bucklandiella dichelymoides is a rheophytic species
growing attached to stones and boulders in streams
but it does not exhibit any rheophytic adaptations
that are typical for many species growing in the fastflowing water of rapids and waterfalls, such as variously multistostratose laminal cells, salient, percurrent to excurrent costae and strong, fleshy marginal
limbidia (e.g. Vitt & Glime, 1984; Sérgio et al., 1995;
Ochyra & Vanderpoorten, 1999; Ellis et al., 2017a,
2017b and references therein). Instead, B. dichelymoides has entirely unistratose laminal cells and
fairly broad but not markedly salient costae and
lacks marginal thickenings. However, such features
occur in other rheophytic mosses, for example

Yunnanobryon rhyacophilum Shevock, Ochyra, S.He
& D.G.Long (Shevock et al., 2011).
Bucklandiella dichelymoides has a somewhat intricate taxonomic history. It was originally described as
Racomitrium dichelymoides Herzog (Herzog, 1934)
and later was placed in a separate monotypic
section, Racomitrium Brid. sect. Andicola BednarekOchyra (Bednarek-Ochyra, 1995). The species was
subsequently transferred to the genus Codriophorus
P.Beauv. as C. dichelymoides (Herzog) BednarekOchyra & Ochyra (Ochyra et al., 2003) on the basis
of its costa which vanished well below the leaf apex,
and in this character it resembles species of
Codriophorus sect. Fascicularia (Bednarek-Ochyra)
Bednarek-Ochyra & Ochyra. However, subsequent
studies revealed that in some populations of the
broadly understood Bucklandiella subsecunda (Harv.)
Bednarek-Ochyra & Ochyra the costae also cease far
below the leaf apex and C. dichelymoides shares with
them entirely smooth laminal cells and chlorophyllose
innermost perichaetial leaves. Accordingly, the species
was transferred to the genus Bucklandiella (BednarekOchyra & Ochyra, 2011).

Bucklandiella heterostichoides is an austral cooladapted species which is very rare in Argentina being
known only from a single record from Isla de los
Estados, the easternmost island of the Tierra del
Fuego archipelago from whence it was described
(Cardot, 1905). This contrasts with Chile, where its
main centre of its occurrence is in western and
southern Patagonia, in the XII Région Magallanes.
It also occasionally extends northwards to the X
Región de Los Lagos (Müller, 2009), reaching its
northernmost locality in the South American mainland in Parque Nacional Puyuhue in Osorno province
at lat. 40°40′ 10′′ S (Ellis et al., 2016), and also to the
Falkland Islands (Ochyra et al., 2015a). Herein, the
species is recorded from the Argentine part of Isla
Grande de Tierra del Fuego, and this is the second
record of B. heterostichoides from Argentina.
Bucklandiella heterostichoides is a vicariant species
of the Australasian B. seppeltii Bednarek-Ochyra,
Ochyra, Sawicki & Szczecińska (Bednarek-Ochyra
et al., 2014) and it is a typical example of an AfroAmerican species. This type of distribution is primarily exhibited by many tropical species of liverworts
(Gradstein, 2013, 2017; Pócs et al., 2016) and mosses
(e.g. Allen & Crosby, 1986; Ochyra et al., 1992;
Zomlefer, 1993; Ellis et al., 2012c, 2017b and references therein). However, there is a relatively small
group of austral cool-adapted south-temperate
species of liverworts (e.g. Váňa et al., 2010a; Ellis
et al., 2016) and mosses (e.g. Ellis et al., 2016) which
are bicentric in distribution in the austral cool-temperate regions. They occur not only in southern South
America and its offshore islands but also in South
Africa and/or on the Southern Ocean islands, primarily in the Kerguelen Biogeographical Province.
Bucklandiella heterostichoides perfectly fits this distribution pattern and it is designated as an amphiatlantic
subantarctic species since it has its maximum occurrence on subantarctic islands and penetrates into the
south-cool-temperate zone where it usually occurs at
high elevations. It is common and abundant on
South Georgia in the South American sector of the
subantarctic (Bell, 1974) and also appears in Îles
Kerguelen and on Heard Island (Ellis et al., 2014a;
Ochyra et al., 2015a) in the African sector of this
biome, with an intermediate station on Gough Island
in the cool-temperate zone, where it occurs only at
high elevations (Ellis et al., 2012a). The record of B.
heterostichoides from Tristan da Cunha (Dixon,
1960) proved to be based upon a misdetermination
and the voucher material belongs to B. striatipila
(Cardot) Bednarek-Ochyra & Ochyra (BednarekOchyra & Ochyra, 2010, 2013).

The plants were medium sized, formed dense, light
green to whitish mats on decaying wood or damp
soil in the forest, and were frequently associated with
other bryophytes. They conformed to the following
description: stems creeping, fairly rigid; from 10–15
mm long × 2–3 mm broad (including leaves), irregularly pinnate, branches infrequent; cross-section stem
to 210 µm; cortex and medulla scarcely differentiated,
cortical cells rectangular, thin walled. Leaves imbricate
0.7–1.0 × 0.5–0.7 mm, incubus, erect, convex, asymmetrical, broadly ovate, the dorsal base curved;
rounded or pointed apex, rarely acute; leaf cells thin
walled, apical cells sub quadrate or hexagonal, 25 ×
34 µm, basal cells 50 × 34 µm. Underleaves bifid, 3–4
times as broad as the stem, tending to be transversely
elliptical, divided to half, the segments broadly triangular, sometimes with a broad tooth or projection
on lateral margins, apical cells 35 × 30 µm, mid cells
45 µm × 30(−40) µm; the sinus broad, U or V
shaped, base decurrent. Rhizoids restricted to the
base of the under-leaves. Paroicous; inflorescences on
dwarf ventral branches. Male bracts 2–3(−4) pairs,
suborbicular with 2–4 acute lobes; female bracts 2–3
pairs, entire; marsupia sessile, hyaline or brownish,
capsule cylindric, black, 4 valves linear, becoming spirally twisted. (Illustrations: Bischler, 1962, Figure 28a–
f; Fulford, 1968, Figure 15a–d).
The first specimens of C. grandistipula were collected from Brazil; one by Wainio in Sitio, s.d. 66
(G) (determinated by Stephani in 1908) (Bischler,
1962) and another by Puiggarí in Apyabi (reported
as the type of C. puiggarií Steph. (Fulford, 1968)). It
is also known from Colombia (Antioquía) and from
Ecuador (Andean Bryophytes project, 2012)
(Trópicos.org., 2017). This contribution is a new
record for the bryophyte flora of Argentina.

Campylopus atrovirens is newly reported in Umbria.
It has been found in heathland, associated with
Campylopus introflexus (Hedw.) Brid. and Hypnum
cupressiforme Hedw. var. cupressiforme. This species
has been assigned to the Hyperoceanic Temperate geographic element (Smith, 2004). In Italy, it is very rare
but its presence has been confirmed by recent records
especially in the northern regions of the Italian peninsula: Piedmont, Lombardy, Trentino Alto Adige (the
report is by Philippi only in litteris on 04 January
1994) and Sardinia (Aleffi et al., 2008). Its European
range includes the Faroe Islands, Norway, Sweden,
Great Britain, Ireland, Andorra, Azores, France,
Italy, Spain, Austria, Switzerland and Montenegro.
It is also distributed in North Caucasus, Pacific coast
of North America and North Carolina.
Campylopus atrovirens is considered as Endangered
(EN) in Sweden, Data Deficient (DD) in Azores, Not
Evaluated (NE) in Austria, Near Threatened (NT) in
Switzerland and Vulnerable (VU) in Montenegro
(Hodgetts, 2015).

Campylopus heterostachys is a Neotropical species,
occurring from Argentina to Mexico (Frahm, 1981,
1982; Allen, 1994; Forzza et al., 2010). It is usually
found on tree trunks and decaying wood. In Brazil,
C. heterostachys is widely distributed, occurring in all
regions (Forzza et al., 2010) but colonising soil or
rock. However, this is the first record for Paraíba
state, a hotspot for bryophytes in Brazil (Germano
et al., 2016), and the first time it has been collected
so close to sea level. The collection was made in the
Biological Reserve Guaribas, which encompasses one
of the last fragments of Atlantic Forest in the state,
with a total of 4051.62 hectares. The climate is wet tropical and is only dry in summer (ICMBio, 2012).
Campylopus heterostachys resembles C. flexuosus
(Hedw.) Brid. but is distinguished by its long spinelike serrate awn and costa. Seen in transverse section,
the costa has large ventral leucocysts, typical of
plants living in wetter habitats. Furthermore, the stereids present in the costa are good protection against
shrinkage caused by desiccation and should optimise
water conduction in the dry season (Frahm, 1990).
According to Frahm (1990), species of Campylopus
Brid. living in the tropics are evolutionarily recent as
the genus originated in the subantarctic.

Misra) is a widely distributed species known from
India, China, Myanmar, Vietnam, Reunion, Nigeria,
Uganda, Malawi (Nyasaland), Tanzania and Japan
(Jones, 1957; Tixier, 1985; Zhu & So, 2001; Asthana
& Srivastava, 2003). In India, it was reported for the
first time by Pandé & Misra (1943) as L. himalayensis,
from Loharkhet (as a rupicolous population) and
Bageshwar (as a corticolous population) in Western
Himalaya. Subsequently, C. latilobula has been
reported from all major regions of the country as corticolous, foliicolous (epiphyllous) and rupicolous
populations (Asthana & Srivastava, 2003; Dey &
Singh, 2012; Singh & Singh, 2016): Western
Himalaya:

During investigations of liverworts collected from
Mahabaleshwar (Maharashtra), the taxon was found
growing on bark (corticolous) from the forest area
near Lingmala Falls and Venna Lake. This is the
first report of this species from Maharashtra
(Mahabaleshwar), showing an extension of its distribution in South India (Western Ghats). Cololejeunea
latilobula is characterised by monoicous plants with
ovate to oblong leaves; leaf lobes are bordered with
rectangular hyaline cells; leaf lobules are triangular,
lingulate, lanceolate with an apical hyaline papilla
and without a second tooth. The cuticle of the leaf is
minutely papillose.

Fossombronia incurva is distinguished from most
European species of Fossombronia Raddi, and in particular from its three Hungarian congeners, F. foveolata
Lindb., F. pusilla (L.) Nees and F. wondraczekii (Corda)
Lindb., by its small size, with plants usually no longer
than 5 mm, and small spores, only 22–32 (−38) µm in
diameter, often remaining in tetrads; the distal face of
the spores usually has very small alveolae, 2–5 µm
wide. In the other species mentioned above, spores are
larger, 30–64 µm in diameter, not united in tetrads,
and the distal face is ornamented by lamellae or if
alveolate then with alveolae 8–12 µm wide.
According to Damsholt (2002), F. incurva was considered endemic to north-western Europe. Among the
countries surrounding Hungary, it is found only in
Austria (Hodgetts, 2015), therefore its occurrence in
Hungary was quite unexpected and represents a
major extension of its distribution into the southeastern part of Central Europe. Within Hungary,
however, the region of Őrség has the most ‘Atlantic’
type of climate, with more precipitation and cooler
temperatures than the rest of the country (Borhidi,
1961).
Fossombronia incurva is a candidate for the new
European Red List and is Red-listed in 6 out of the
14 countries in which it occurs (Hodgetts, 2015).

the range of this species in the Austro-Neotropical
countries of the Andean region.
In Argentina, G. trinervis occurs in the high elevation
grasslands between 2900 and 4000 m a.s.l., a phytogeographical area where other bryophytes, such as
Saitobryum lorentzii (Müll.Hal.) Ochyra, Dicranella
lorentzii (Müll.Hal.) Broth., Pohlia chilensis (Mont.)
A.J.Shaw and Neosharpiella aztecorum H.Rob. &
Delgad., were recorded recently (Suárez & Schiavone,
2008; Suárez et al., 2010, 2013; Jimenez et al., 2015).
Although it is markedly variable according to its
habitat, the diagnostic characters for this species are
the leaves strongly plicate on both sides of the costa;
the seta curved with a gymnostomous, asymmetric
capsule and a ventricose base and a mitrate calyptra,
which is not plicate and does not exceed the capsule
mouth. A complete description and illustration of G.
trinervis can be found in Muñoz (1999, pp. 179–82).

Sabovljević, 2006), although no recent revisions of the
voucher specimens have been made. Hodgetts (2015)
included Germany among the territories from where
this moss is reported, although the locality involved is presently in Poland (see Garilleti et al., 2006). Lewinskya
shawii also reaches northern Africa, where it has been
reported from northernmost Morocco (Draper et al.,
2003, 2006). Finally, this moss is also known from SW
Asia as it has been reported from at least two localities
in southern Anatolia in Turkey (Ellis et al., 2010a;
Kırmacı et al., 2013).
Lewinskya shawii mainly grows as an epiphyte on
diverse broadleaf trees, frequently on large tree trunks.
It seems to prefer montane-Mediterranean or subMediterranean environments (Garilleti & Albertos,
2012), usually being scarce or very scarce, except in
some meridional beech forest where it can be moderately abundant (Mazimpaka et al., 2000).
Interestingly, L. shawii was first described (Schimper,
1864) from quite northerly (55°16′ N) collections in
Ayrshire, SW Scotland. The material from this locality,
collected between June 1860 and July 1873, is abundant,
although all the cushions apparently came from a single
tree (Mazimpaka et al., 2000). Since then it has not been
found, being considered as a regionally extinct species in
the United Kingdom (Bosanquet, 2009; Hodgetts,
2015). Bosanquet (2012) suggested that the original
colony could have originated from a vagrant spore or
even have occurred on an imported non-native tree of
Fraxinus ornus L. In continental Europe, the two northernmost localities for L. shawii are in the Netherlands,
next to Drachten (approx. 53°06′ N, after van der
Pluijm, 2014), and in Poland, in the vicinity of
Barwice (approx. 53°44′ N, after Garilleti et al., 2006;
see note at end of column for additional detail on this
locality), both of them situated 900 km north of the
nearest locality where L. shawii grows within its main
submediterranean area of distribution.
The southern Swedish locality here reported,
although at a similar latitude to that of the original
Scottish one, is the northernmost locality ever found
for L. shawii. A single, large cushion was found,
similar to those described for other northern populations of this species (van der Pluijm, 2004). It grew
on a planted Norway maple, within a xerophytic epiphytic community, with L. affinis (Schrad. ex Brid.)

Lewinskya striata (≡Orthotrichum striatum Hedw.)
has a Holarctic disjunct distribution including part
of Asia (Ignatov et al., 2006) and western North
America (Vitt, 2014), being widespread in Europe
and the Mediterranean area (Lara & Garilleti, 2014;
Lara et al., 2016). In Macaronesia, this species has
only been previously reported from Gran Canaria
Island in the archipelago of the Canary Islands
(Arechavaleta et al., 2010).
On the island of Madeira, L. striata has been found
in an area where the natural lauroid forests have been
largely replaced with allochthonous deciduous broadleaf trees. Chestnut groves predominate, in some places
including oaks and beeches. There, L. striata seems to
be a rare moss, since it has been found in very small
amounts, colonising scattered trees. This moss grows
with L. acuminata (H.Philib.) F.Lara, Garilleti &
Goffinet, a species with a similar gametophyte,
which is considerably more frequent and abundant in
that area although formerly it had been found only
once on Madeira (Sim-Sim et al., 2008).

The actual distribution of Niphotrichum canescens
in China is still debatable since many specimens so
named correctly belonged to N. japonicum (Dozy &
Molk.) Bednarek-Ochyra & Ochyra, as has already
been stressed by the authors of the broadly conceived
genus Racomitrium Brid. in the ‘Moss Flora of China’
(Cao et al., 2003). They reported this species from
several provinces in the north, central and south-east
of China, but a revision of the voucher specimens
cited by Cao et al. (2003) from the provinces of
Anhui, Henan, Hebei and Jiangsu, as well as from
Taiwan, showed that they were misdetermined and
actually represented N. japonicum and N. barbuloides
(Cardot) Bednarek-Ochyra & Ochyra (BednarekOchyra, unpublished data). Most probably the
records of this species from the provinces of Jilin and
Heilongjiang, as well as the Inner Mongolia
Autonomous Region may represent N. canescens but,
unfortunately, the relevant voucher collections have
not been located. Hitherto, authentic specimens of
N. canescens were discovered in the Xizang
Autonomous Region and actually belong to N. canescens subsp. latifolium (C.E.O.Jensen) BednarekOchyra & Ochyra (Ellis et al., 2010b). On the other
hand, specimens that represent the type subspecies of
N. canescens have recently been collected in the Tian
Shan and Altai mountains in the Xinjiang Uyghur
Autonomous Region. These localities are situated in

Central Asia and are the southernmost extensions of
the continuous range of the species in the huge area
that covers eastern Kazakhstan and Central Siberia
in Russia (Ignatova, 2017), as well as northern
Mongolia (Tsegmed, 2010).
Niphotrichum Bednarek-Ochyra & Ochyra needs
taxonomic revision of all available specimens in
China in order to establish the number of species
and their distribution in this country. On the basis of
a partial revision of the Chinese material, it is
evident that N. japonicum and N. barbuloides are the
most frequent and abundant species of the genus,
whilst N. canescens is rare and localised. Many specimens named N. ericoides (Brid.) Bednarek-Ochyra &
Ochyra which have been revised by the first author
actually referred to N. barbuloides, so the occurrence
of N. ericoides in China requires confirmation.

Niphotrichum elongatum is a temperate species
having a bicentric distribution in continental North
America. It is very rare in the eastern part of the continent where it is scattered in Ontario, Michigan and
New York, but it is widely distributed in the Pacific
part of North America, ranging from south-eastern
Alaska to California and extending inland to Alberta,
Montana and Wyoming. Additionally, the species is
exceedingly rare in southernmost Greenland and it

was only occasionally found at lat. 70°N in East
Greenland (Ochyra & Bednarek-Ochyra, 2007).
Herein, its geographical range is markedly extended
westwards to the Aleutian Islands where it is scattered
throughout the whole archipelago. These localities
bridge the localities of N. elongatum in Pacific North
America and Pacific East Asia where the species is
very rare and scattered in the Chukotka Peninsula,
the Commander Islands and the Kuril Islands
(Ignatova, 2017). This Beringian distribution pattern
is exhibited by a number of bryophyte species
(Schofield, 1984; Bednarek-Ochyra, 2004, 2006),
including N. muticum (Kindb.) Bednarek-Ochyra &
Ochyra (Bednarek-Ochyra et al., 2010). Niphotrichum
elongatum is exceedingly rare in Asia where it is actually
known only from Russia. The only record of this species
from China (Liu et al., 2011) correctly refers to
Dilutineuron
corrugatum
(Bednarek-Ochyra)
Bednarek-Ochyra, Sawicki, Ochyra, Szczecińska &
Plášek (Ellis et al., 2015c). These two genera,
Niphotrichum Bednarek-Ochyra & Ochyra and
Dilutineuron Bednarek-Ochyra, Sawicki, Ochyra,
Szczecińska & Plášek, are very distinct segregates of
the traditionally conceived genus Racomitrium Brid
(Bednarek-Ochyra et al., 2015; Sawicki et al., 2015).

Orthotrichum scanicum is a widespread European
moss that was considered a Vulnerable species until
very recently (Bryophyte Specialist Group, 2012).
Nowadays it is known from more than 25 European
countries and some major Mediterranean islands,
from southern Fennoscandia to the Balkans and
from Great Britain and continental Portugal to the
European Caucasus, including large parts of central
Europe, although in several areas it is considered a
Regionally Threatened species (Hodgetts, 2015).
Recorded in many Mediterranean countries (Ros
et al., 2013), it reaches North Africa in northern
Morocco (Draper et al., 2006), from where this moss
was first described as O. lewinskyae F.Lara, Garilleti
& Mazimpaka (Garilleti et al., 1997; Medina et al.,
2009). The distribution also extends to Asia, where it
is known from three different areas: (a) Asian
Caucasus and Turkish Anatolia in the south-west
extreme of the continent (Lara et al., 2010); (b) Tian
Shan Mts. (Kazakhstan and Kyrgyzstan) in Central
Asia (Medina et al., 2009; Ellis et al., 2015a) and (c)
Russian Subarctic Siberia in north Central Asia
Bryological Note
(Fedosov et al., 2009). The populations from Central
Asia, and those from Arctic European Russia, were
ascribed to O. holmenii Lewinsky (LewinskyHaapasaari, 1996; Fedosov et al., 2009) until
Medina et al. (2009) synonymised it with O. scanicum.
Finally, this species has been recently reported from a
park in New York City (USA), this being the only
record from North America (Ellis et al., 2015b).
Until now, Orthotrichum scanicum was unknown
from Macaronesia (Ros et al., 2013; Hodgetts, 2015).
It has been found growing on chestnut trees in the
same chestnut grove reported above for Lewinskya
striata, with which it was collected from the same
tree. As in that species, O. scanicum seems to be a
rare and scarce moss in Madeira.
The only other small Orthotrichum species on the
island with which O. scanicum could be confused is
O. comosum F.Lara, R.Medina & Garilleti, a moss
first recorded from the same area as O. paivanum
Schimp. nom. nud. (Medina et al., 2013). Both O. scanicum and O. comosum have been collected from the
same trees, although the latter is more frequent and
abundant in the area.

Pellia neesiana is close to P. epiphylla (L.) Corda
with respect to thallus anatomy, i.e. the presence of
thickened bands, and the distribution of slime papillae
at the emarginate thallus apex: these are found on both
ventral and dorsal surfaces of the costa, contrary to P.
endiviifolia (Dicks.) Dumort., which only has them on
the ventral side and on a longer stalk consisting of 1–5
cells (the stalk is 1-celled in P. neesiana and
P. epiphylla). The differences between P. neesiana
and P. epiphylla include the shape of the involucre surrounding the young sporophyte, tubular in P. neesiana
and flap-like in P. epiphylla, and the sexual condition:
P. neesiana is dioicous, whereas P. epiphylla is monoicous and usually has antheridial cavities behind the
involucre. The Hungarian plants were purely female,
with a (mostly) tubular involucre. According to
Paton (1999), tubular involucres sometimes are distally
incomplete, but such aberrations are usually
accompanied by typical involucres, as in our plants.
Pellia epiphylla also grows near the locations detailed
above and clearly differs in the listed characters.
The collection site in the extreme west of Hungary is
in a region characterised by siliceous pebble alluvium
that have formed plateaus into which the water
courses have carved valleys. This part of the country
receives more precipitation than average and has a
cooler climate (Borhidi, 1961). The stream near
which our plants were found is only temporary and
generally falls dry in summer. In the vascular vegetation, Alnus glutinosa (L.) Gaertn. is dominant,
apart from Carpinus betulus L. Pellia neesiana grows
on nearly horizontal surfaces somewhat elevated
above the water level, which have a sparse vegetation
of mainly Persicaria hydropiper (L.) Spach. Pellia epiphylla is also found in these places but in addition
grows on the slopes near the water.
Apart from Europe, where P. neesiana is found
mostly in the northern and western parts and occurs
more scarcely in the Mediterranean region, it has
been recorded from the Faroes, Iceland, Greenland,
eastern North America and Asia (Paton, 1999;
Hodgetts, 2015). Pellia neesiana is found in all the
countries surrounding Hungary (Hodgetts, 2015),
therefore its occurrence here was not totally unexpected. However, it can easily be overlooked, and
can only be safely told apart from P. epiphylla when
fertile, which means it can be recorded only during a
short favourable season.
In Hungary with its mostly calcareous or base-rich
siliceous bedrock, P. endiviifolia is widespread. P. epiphylla had until recently been considered Data
Deficient in Hungary and was only known from a
single site, collected in 1924 (Erzberger & Papp,
2004, Papp et al., 2010). It is now well known not
only from the western part of the country
(Vendvidék, Őrség: Erzberger et al., 2015; Kőszeg
Mts and Alsó-Kemeneshát: unpublished observations)
but also from other regions, e.g. the Zemplén Mts. in
the Northern Mountain Range (unpublished observations). Pellia neesiana was hitherto unknown in
Hungary (Papp et al., 2010).

The genus Plagiothecium Schimp. is poorly represented in the austral polar regions in terms of frequency, cover and species diversity. Hitherto, only
two species, P. ovalifolium Cardot and P. orthocarpum
Mitt., have been recorded from the Antarctic
(Bednarek-Ochyra et al., 1999; Ochyra et al., 2008b)
and the Subantarctic (Bednarek-Ochyra et al., 1999;
Ochyra et al., 2002; Ochyra & Hertel, 1990). The
latter is an amphiatlantic south cool-temperate
species, which extends at high elevations along the
Andean chain from Tierra del Fuego into the
Neotropics, reaching southern Mexico and the West
Indies in the north (Buck & Ireland, 1989 as P. conostegium Herzog). In the Subantarctic, P. orthocarpum
occurs infrequently in South Georgia and Îles
Kerguelen (Bednarek-Ochyra et al., 1999; Ochyra
et al., 2002 both as P. georgicoantarcticum
(Müll.Hal.) Kindb.), and in the present account it is
recorded from Îles de la Possession in the Îles Crozet
archipelago. Although palaeobotanical evidence is
lacking for this island (Van der Putten et al., 2010),
it is very likely that this species is a postglacial immigrant which could have reached this archipelago
after the Last Glacial Maximum via long distance
aerial dispersal, as is the case with other islands in

the vast Southern Ocean (Van der Putten et al.,
2004, 2009; Ochyra et al., 2010; Váňa et al., 2010b,
2014, 2015). Additionally, P. orthocarpum has also
been recorded from Schirmacher Oasis in the
Dronning Maud Land in Continental Antarctica
where it occurs at considerable depths in lakes (Li
et al., 2009), and it probably survived the last glacial
period in this refugium (Singh et al., 2012).
Plagiothecium orthocarpum is a valuable addition to
the moss flora of Îles Crozet, which is still the least
studied
of
all
subantarctic
archipelagoes.
Nevertheless, intensive field studies carried out in
recent decades continuously yield many additions to
the moss flora of Îles Crozet (e.g. Blockeel et al.,
2006; Ellis et al., 2013c, 2014b; Ochyra et al., 2015b)
which currently consists of about 75 species.

Pohlia flexuosa is newly reported from two distinct
locations in France. First, in the Central Pyrenees,
where the species is not uncommon, being recorded
in several places nearby. It occurred on moist
mineral soils, on steep slopes most often corresponding to erosion and avalanche corridors, and was
associated with Dichodontium pellucidum (Hedw.)
Schimp., Bryoerythrophyllum ferruginascens (Stirt.)
Giacom., Pohlia wahlenbergii (F.Weber & D.Mohr)
A.L.Andrews, etc. The second specimen, from
Normandy, inhabited a bare acidic bank among
grazed grasslands and settlements. Associated species
were Dicranella heteromalla (Hedw.) Schimp.,
Pogonatum aloides (Hedw.) P.Beauv. and Bryum
Hedw. sp. Perhaps significantly the population of
Pohlia flexuosa was located at the outlet of a rain
pipe coming from a farm building.
Populations in the localities cited above were sterile,
relying on vegetative reproduction by means of characteristic caducous axillary bulbils. Interestingly, we
noticed clear-cut morphological differences between
the bulbils from the plants originating in upland
Haute-Garonne and those of lowland Manche.
Pyrenean plants possess only oblong stipitate propagula with a knobbly appearance and small protuberances at the apex, which fit very well those described
for P. muyldermansii R.Wilczek & Demaret var. pseudomuyldermansii (Arts et al., 1987). The Manche
population is clearly distinct, being made of a mix of
three types of individuals: those with oblong propagula, those with filiform propagula and those with
Bryological Note
oblong propagula in the proximal part of stem and filiform ones in the distal part. In this case, the oblong
propagula are not of the same type as those observed
in the Pyrenees: they are much less angular in outline
and do not show any apical protuberant cell. The
plants of Manche match the type variety. These two
varieties are no longer recognised on account of the
occurrence of intermediates, which were mentioned
by Townsend (1995). Much literature has been
devoted to the question (Arts et al., 1987; Townsend,
1995, 2007; Shaw & Toren, 2009; Liu et al., 2015).
In our opinion, previously underlined by Wigginton
(in Blockeel et al., 2014), the species has the appearance of a native to Europe. It is able to spread in
anthropogenic secondary habitats such as eroded
banks or quarries.
The specimens from the Pyrenees and Manche were
not shiny and both had a long and wide (often 4 cells
wide) foliar decurrency on the stem. The plants from
Pyrenees also have longer leaves than those from
Manche, and this supports their distinctiveness.
In France, Pohlia flexuosa was previously recorded
from the Vosges (Frahm & Bick, 2013), where it
occurred in a quarry. It is also known from northern
Spain, Italy, the British Isles, Ireland, Scandinavia
and eastward to Austria and Romania. It is also
known in Asia.

This is a small annual to short-lived plant, usually
growing in lax patches on wet clay soils or sandy soils
on steep banks of ditches, streams and rivers. Records
from the Near and Middle East include Israel (Upper
Galilee; Bilewsky & Nachmony, 1955), Iraq, Lebanon
and United Arab Emirates (Kürschner & Frey, 2011).
According to Blockeel et al. (2014), it is commonly
present in a typical clay-bank community that include,
as at the Jordan site, Didymodon tophaceus (Brid.)
Lisa, Lunularia cruciata (L.) Dumort. ex Lindb. and
Fissidens Hedw. species. Further accompanying species
in Jordan are Ditrichum pusillum (Hedw.) Hampe,
Fissidens bambergeri Schimp. (F. viridulus (Sw.)
Wahlenb. complex), Funaria hygrometrica Hedw. and
Rhynchostegiella tenella (Dicks.) Limpr. As P. melanodon is a higher ranked character species of the
Funarietalia hygrometricae v. Hübschm. 1957 order, it
remains unclear at present if this species assemblage
forms an undescribed phytosociological community of
its own.

Previously known only from the type locality in
the Usambara region of Tanzania and one
additional collection from the same area (Argent,
1973). The disjunction is particularly interesting as
all of the known populations are sterile, so there is
no obvious means of easy dispersal between the
two areas. However, the floras of intervening areas
(e.g. the Comores, Madagascar) remain poorly documented and the species may occur in other localities.
The dry forests of La Réunion are among the most
threatened vegetation types on the island and
harbour numerous endemic plant species (Strasberg
et al., 2005). These remain poorly known from a
bryological perspective and the present record
suggests that they should receive higher priority for
exploration.

This relatively large amphibious Seligeria Bruch &
Schimp. is listed as Endangered in Europe (Porley,
2013). Several populations documented before 1960
have not been seen recently (Germany, Serbia,
Slovenia, Switzerland). Recent research reported
several populations in the French Jura Mountains
(Philippe & André, 2014) and Northern French Alps
(Philippe & Ochyra, 2017).
The species is often considered as a suboceanic
boreal-montane element (Porley, 2013), a view challenged by the several numerous and abundantly reproducing populations in eastern France (Philippe &
Ochyra, 2017). The Ardèche population is the first
reported for the Massif Central. At the rim of the
Mediterranean biogeographical domain, it suggests
that the species might be encountered in wet
Mediterranean settings. Owing to its inconspicuous
appearance, it is probably somewhat overlooked,
especially when sterile and with a Scytonema-like
appearance.

It was observed this summer 2017 by Heike

This small pleurocarp with nerveless, acuminate
leaves that are turned upwards, away from the substrate, is reminiscent of Pylaisia polyantha (Hedw.)
Schimp., but possessing leaves with conspicuous
groups of large, hyaline alar cells places it with the
Sematophyllaceae. In the field, numerous sporophytes
form a striking feature. The small erect capsule is
borne on a seta less than 10 mm long, the capsule lid
is longly rostrate, and after dehiscence the urn is
slightly constricted below the orifice, which displays
a whitish peristome.
The collection site was in a plantation of exotic trees
growing on siliceous-pebbled alluvium, into which
streams have cut valleys. The most important of
these is Koponyás-patak, which flows from an area
rich in bryophytes, such as Sphagnum L. spp.,
Calypogeia fissa (L.) Raddi, Chiloscyphus polyanthos
(L.) Corda, Fissidens adianthoides Hedw., Mnium
hornum Hedw., Bryum pseudotriquetrum (Hedw.)
P.Gaertn., E.Mey. & Scherb., Riccardia multifida (L.)
Gray and others.
Sematophyllum adnatum is widespread in North,
Central and South America and tropical Africa
(Brusa in Blockeel et al., 2000; Schofield, 2014).
In Hill et al. (2006), S. adnatum is listed among the
non-native mosses in Europe. The first European
occurrence was found in Italy in a former nursery
garden, and the plants were assumed to have been an
accidental introduction on trees (Brusa in Blockeel
et al., 2000). Since its discovery, the moss has spread
considerably in northern Italy (Brusa, 2001) and has
recently been recorded in Switzerland (Schnyder,
2015). Our collection appears to be the third country
in Europe to record this species. That it was found in
an arboretum among exotic trees, also suggests that,
as in Italy, it was an accidental introduction on trees.
In Italy, S. adnatum was found to grow predominantly
on the bark of Quercus species, less frequently on dead
wood, rarely on siliceous rocks (Brusa, 2001). The
abundant production of sporophytes enables this
moss to effectively colonise suitable habitats. These
facts suggest that S. adnatum has the potential to
spread further into adjacent regions and possibly
become an invasive alien.

Solmsiella biseriata (Erpodiaceae) is a geographically widespread species from dry areas at low
elevations, characterised by its liverwort-like appearance. It has complanate dimorphic leaves arranged
in 4 rows, with dorsal leaves asymmetric and larger
than the ventral symmetrical leaves. Although this
species occurs in various continents (Pursell & Allen,
2007) and it has been collected in neighbouring
countries in South America such as Venezuela,
Brazil and Paraguay, it has not previously been
reported from Colombia. The species was found
growing epiphytically on a planted cacao tree, in a
fragmented forest near running water. It has been
pointed out that this species is frequently encountered
in man-made habitats (Touw, 1992; Ma & Shevock,
2015), which is true for this collection, since it was collected in an area highly disturbed by human activities,
such as mining, livestock farming and fishing. Possibly
Solmsiella biseriata has not been found due to the
limited sampling of bryophytes in these disturbed
sites and should be looked for in such localities.

Although observed to be fairly common on Tahiti,
at least at mid-elevation, the species was not recorded
for the Society Islands in previous checklists and floras
(e.g. Whittier, 1976). However, it may have been overlooked as the superficially similar Syrrhopodon banksii

It is not frequently recorded from the Pacific Islands,

Previously known only from a few collections in

shared between Madagascar and the Mascarene
archipelago, especially La Réunion. The species
was fairly frequent along a large section of the
steep, N-facing slope that makes up the southern
boundary of Grand Bassin, and tended to be abundant where it occurred. The golden colour, lax habit,
and the straight, relatively long, branches (rather
than dark green, short and in-curled) make it easy
to distinguish from T. inflexum (Harvey) Gepp.,
the more common species of the genus on La
Réunion. Sporophytes have not previously been
found for the species; the collection reported here
was fertile but sporophytes were all in the spear

Lewinskya shawii given by Garilleti et al. (2006: p.
511) as “Bellia bei Bärwalde [Barwice]” is erroneous.
The actual ‘Bärwalde’ where Ruthe lived and collected
was situated in the former Neumark Province. This
town is presently called Mieszkowice in Polish and
lies in Zachodniopomorskie Voivodeship in westernmost Poland (52°47’N, 14°29’E). A few km north of
this town there is a village now named Bielin in
Polish (Germ. Bellin) (52°49’34’’N, 14°27’32’’E),
which name may have been mistakenly read as
Bellia, as there is no record of a place bearing the
latter name. ( pers.comm. R. Ochyra).
