Abstract – This updated checklist of the bryophytes of Madagascar was compiled from the
literature, herbarium and recent collections. A total of 1144 species and infraspecific taxa
are recorded for Madagascar composed of 751 mosses, 390 liverworts and 3 hornworts.
28.67% of the species reported for the Island are endemics. Twenty-four taxa are newly
recorded for Madagascar and two of them, Fissidens cyathaeicola Brugg.Nann. and
Taxithelium nepalense (Schwägr.) Broth. are reported for the first time for the Sub-Saharan
Africa region.
Hornworts / liverworts / mosses / Madagascar
INTRODUCTION
Madagascar is located in the Indian Ocean, between 11˚57’ and 25˚39’
latitude, 400 km from the eastern coast of Africa. It is the world’s fourth largest
island, with a total area of 590 000 km2, the distance between Cap d’Ambre

(North) and Cap Sainte Marie (South) is nearly 1570 km, and the distance from
West to East is around 560 km (Ingram & Dawson, 2005). The island consists of
a central plateau of volcanic origin which culminates to the north in peaks over
2800 meters. To the East, the plateau falls directly and abruptly onto a narrow
coastal plain, while in the West it descends more slowly to a broader plain, along
the Mozambique Channel.
The island is considered a biodiversity hot spot: 85% of the flora
(Gautier & Goodman, 2003) and 90% of the fauna are endemics (Goodman,
2008). The tropical forests of Madagascar are among the highest priority areas in
the world for biodiversity conservation (Myers et al., 2000). Eighty percent of
Madagascar’s original forests have disappeared in the 1500-2000 years since the
arrival of the first humans (Harper et al., 2007). At present, only 12% of the
surface of the island is covered by natural forest. These remant forests are highly
endangered by threat of deforestation. Cultivation involving slash and burn
agriculture (locally called tavy) is the main cause of deforestation. Tavy consists
of clearing and burning native forest. The burnt area is used for various
plantations until the soils are impoverished, and then abandoned (Ingram &
Dawson, 2005). The increasing population and the absence of resources and
techniques to improve agricultural productivity and pasture lands threaten to
destroy what remains of this unique biology (Sussman et al., 1994).
The classification by Du Puy and Morat (1996) divides the primary
vegetation of Madagascar into two formations: the evergreen and the deciduous
formations.
The evergreen formations (East and Center) are: Coastal forest (East); Evergreen
humid forest, low elevation (0-800 m); Evergreen humid forest, mid elevation
(800-1800 m); Evergreen humid forest, lower montagne (1800-2000 m); Mountain,
Schrubland (Philipia) (> 1800 m); Evergreen, sclerophyllous (Uapaca) woodland
(800-2000 m) and Marshland (0-800 m)
The deciduous formations (West and South) are: Coastal forest (West);
Deciduous, seasonally dry, western forest (0-800 m); Deciduous, dry, southern
forest and schrubland (0-300 m).
The distribution of different vegetation formations in Madagascar is shown in
Fig. 1.
The study on the flora of Madagascar has, for a long time, focused on
vascular plants, with few studies being undertaken on bryophytes. Indeed, it was
only during the 19th century that collectors first began to collect bryophytes in the
Island (Dorr, 1997). There are more than 40 botanists that collected bryophytes
on the island during the 19th century. The majority of which were French botanists
and explorers. Collections through this period, by Cardot, Tixier, Cramers,
Chénagon, and Perrier de la Bathie are mainly located at Paris herbarium (PC).
Biographical data of bryophyte collectors are reported in Dorr (1997). The oldest
collections are located at PC. From 1960, date of the independence of
Madagascar, duplicates of the collections were hosted at the National Herbarium
of Madagascar (TAN), of which more than a thousand samples still need to be
identified. Nowadays, collections of Madagascan bryophytes are hosted in
different herbaria around the world.
This article aims to provide a comprehensive list of bryophytes from
Madagascar based on literature records and additional collections, as well as
provide information on the type specimens for endemic species. We hope that this
preliminary work will be helpful for other bryologists and will stimulate and
facilitate future work on the bryoflora of Madagascar.

METHODS
This checklist was compiled from the literature, data from various
herbaria, and recent collections by the authors. This work was greatly facilitated
by the ground work of O’Shea (2006) and Wigginton (2009) for their respective
checklists of mosses, liverworts and hornworts for sub-Saharan Africa.

Presentation of the list
– Synopsis of families and genera
Families are ranked alphabetically within each order and sub order. The
numbers in brackets against each genus indicate the number of taxa within
the genus. Synopses of genera and family are based on the work of CrandallStotler et al. (2009) for liverworts, Renzaglia et al. (2009) for hornworts and
Goffinet et al. (2009) for mosses.
– Format of the list
The taxa are arranged alphabetically within the three divisions of
bryophytes: Marchantiophyta (liverworts), Anthocerotophyta (hornworts) and
Bryophyta (mosses) and within each family. Scientific names appear in bold italic
type followed by the authors who discribed the taxa. Endemic taxa are followed
by “End”. New records from Madagascar are preceded by *. Herbarium
abbreviations follow Thiers (2010). Uncompletely identified species that have
been reported by O’Shea (2006) and Wigginton (2009) are taken into account in
this checklist.
The references following each taxon are the record of the presence of the
taxon in Madagascar, it refers mainly to the work of O’Shea (2006) and Wigginton
(2009).
For new records from herbarium specimens, the references following the
taxa are: locality, habitat, altitude, geographic coordinates, collection date,
collector(s), collector’s number, and herbarium.
For new records that were recently collected during the BRYOLAT
expedition in November 2009 and other fieldtrips, as well as for type specimen
information, references following the species names are: locality, microhabitat,
geographic coordinates, date, collector, collection number, and determinator.
When “unknown” is specified after type, this means that no information
was given by the specimens, except “Madagascar” as main locality. “N.S.” is used
when the holotype or herbarium are “not specified” and “#” is used when the
information is considered doubtful.

Checklist of the bryophytes of Madagascar

Note on Riccardia:
According to Grolle 1995, three species of the genus Aneura: A. caespitans Steph.,
A corbieri Steph and A. dismieri Steph. were placed on the name of Riccardia sp.
The attribution of those species to the genus Riccardia has not been revised. But
since the revision of the genus Riccardia from Africa and Madagascar is now in a
progress, most of the morphological and reproductive characters of those three
species seem to fit with those of Riccardia. We decided to keep the name used by
Grolle (1995) and Wigginton (2009).
CONCLUSION
In total 1144 bryophyte species and infraspecific taxa, including
751 mosses, 390 liverworts and 3 hornworts are reported from Madagascar
(Table 1). The following families: Dicranaceae (83 species and infraspecific taxa),
Orthotrichaceae (66 species and infraspecific taxa) and Bryaceae (44 species and
infraspecific taxa) are the most speciose for mosses and the Lejeuneaceae
(203 species and infraspecific taxa), Frullaniaceae (38 species and infraspecific
taxa) and Plagiochilaceae (21 species and infraspecific taxa) for liverworts. The
lack of reported hornwort taxa undoubtedly represents a significant bias in
historic collecting effort especially since more than 5 hornwort taxa are reported
for Réunion Island, a landmass both a fraction of the age and size of Madagascar
(Ah-Peng et al., 2010). Future floristic exploration in Madagascar should target
such little known groups as they are likely to harbour a wealth of unknown
diversity.
In this checklist, 13 mosses, 10 liverworts and one species of hornwort are
newly recorded for Madagascar. The majority of these new records are reported
from collections in the National Herbarium of Madagascar (TAN) and from
recent collections by the authors. Two species: Fissidens cyathaeicola Brugg.Nann.
and Taxithelium nepalense (Schwägr.) Broth. are reported for the first time for the
Sub-Saharan Africa region.
The bryoflora of Madagascar displays remarkably high levels of
endemism, 33.82% of mosses and 18.97% of liverworts are unique to the island,
providing ample support for its status as a global hotspot of biodiversity. The moss

families with the largest number of endemic species are the Dicranaceae (41/83),
Orthotrichaceae (38/66) and Sematophyllaceae (22/40). Of the 74 endemic
liverwort species recorded on the island, 59 belong to the family Lejeuneaceae, of
which the most important is the epiphyllous genus Cololejeunea which has
radiated throughout Madagascar and the neighbouring islands (Pócs, 1997). The
number of endemics should be regarded with caution as many of the species were
described a long time ago and have yet to form part of a recent revision: this
figure will need to be continuously updated.
To help in further research e.g. taxonomic revision, we listed the type
specimens of endemic species including specimen information and host
herbarium. Unfortunately a few proportion (18) of type specimens are poorly
detailed, often providing only “Madagascar” as the type location, we did not
manage to identify the host herbarium of 56 endemic species.
Since much of the original bryological exploration of Madagascar took
place during the late 1800’s (Dorr, 1997) it is not known what proportion, if any,
of the recorded taxa have been lost due to anthropogenic destruction of habitats
for farming and logging. Many of the sites which were frequented by early
bryologists have been lost due to such activities. New inventories of intact and
unexplored habitats on the island should prove invaluable for verifying many of
the old records presented in this checklist and will undoubtedly reveal many new
and interesting records for the island.
Much work remains to be done to improve knowledge on the diversity
and distribution of bryophytes in Madagascar. For example, collections of
bryophytes in the National Herbarium of Madagascar (TAN) need to be revised
and fully identified. More fieldwork to collect bryophytes in poorly investigated
areas should be planned, especially in areas such as the dry forests.

of Madagascar. We thank Ida Bruggeman-Nannenga for the identification of two new
records of Fissidens for Madagascar.
