CHECKLIST OF THE MOSSES OF THE INTERMOUNTAIN WEST, USA John R. Spence' Abstract —A revised list of the mosses of the Intermountain West, including all of Utah and Nevada and parts of surrounding states, is presented. Recorded are 342 species in 122 genera and 39 families in this region. Nomenclatural and taxonomic changes as well as floristic additions since the publication of Seville Flowers s book are included.

Synonyme: Amblyodon longisetus (HEDW.) P. BEAUV. Kennzeichen/Artbestimmung: Meesia longiseta ist ein 4–8 (–10) cm hohes, akrokarpes, unverzweigtes Laubmoos von grün-schwärzlicher Färbung. Die Art wächst in lockeren, weichen Rasen (Abb. 2.9). Das Stämmchen ist bis in die Spitze wurzelhaarig und im Moose Querschnitt dreikantig. Die Blättchen sind mehr oder weniger deutlich in 3 oder 6 Rei- hen angeordnet und vom Stämmchen abgespreizt. Die 2–3,5 mm langen, spitzen Blätt- chen laufen deutlich am Stämmchen herab, sind oberwärts gekielt, ganzrandig oder an der Spitze etwas gezähnt. Ihre deutlich entwickelte Rippe endet unterhalb der Blattspitze. Der Blattrand ist flach. Die Laminazellen sind rechteckig bis rhombisch und etwa 14 µm breit. Die rötlichen, gedrehten Seten der synözischen Art können über 10 cm lang wer- den. Die langbirnenförmige, aufrechte Kapsel hat einen deutlichen Hals. Bei der Spo- renreife im Juni und Juli werden die mit 36–44 µm Durchmesser recht großen Sporen frei- gesetzt. Die Chromosomenzahl ist nicht bekannt (FRITSCH 1991). Differenzierende Merkmale zu den ähnlichen Arten Meesia uliginosa und M. hexasticha sind der nicht ein- gerollte Blattrand, die kleineren Sporen und der Rippenquerschnitt mit kleinen, inneren Zellen (zusammengestellt nach CRUM & ANDERSON 1981, FRAHM 1979, LIMPRICHT 1895).

  • Molecular Phylogeny of Chinese Thuidiaceae with Emphasis on Thuidium and Pelekium
    Molecular Phylogeny of Chinese Thuidiaceae with emphasis on Thuidium and Pelekium QI-YING, CAI1, 2, BI-CAI, GUAN2, GANG, GE2, YAN-MING, FANG 1 1 College of Biology and the Environment, Nanjing Forestry University, Nanjing 210037, China. 2 College of Life Science, Nanchang University, 330031 Nanchang, China. E-mail: [email protected] Abstract We present molecular phylogenetic investigation of Thuidiaceae, especially on Thudium and Pelekium. Three chloroplast sequences (trnL-F, rps4, and atpB-rbcL) and one nuclear sequence (ITS) were analyzed. Data partitions were analyzed separately and in combination by employing MP (maximum parsimony) and Bayesian methods. The influence of data conflict in combined analyses was further explored by two methods: the incongruence length difference (ILD) test and the partition addition bootstrap alteration approach (PABA). Based on the results, ITS 1& 2 had crucial effect in phylogenetic reconstruction in this study, and more chloroplast sequences should be combinated into the analyses since their stability for reconstructing within genus of pleurocarpous mosses. We supported that Helodiaceae including Actinothuidium, Bryochenea, and Helodium still attributed to Thuidiaceae, and the monophyletic Thuidiaceae s. lat. should also include several genera (or species) from Leskeaceae such as Haplocladium and Leskea. In the Thuidiaceae, Thuidium and Pelekium were resolved as two monophyletic groups separately. The results from molecular phylogeny were supported by the crucial morphological characters in Thuidiaceae s. lat., Thuidium and Pelekium. Key words: Thuidiaceae, Thuidium, Pelekium, molecular phylogeny, cpDNA, ITS, PABA approach Introduction Pleurocarpous mosses consist of around 5000 species that are defined by the presence of lateral perichaetia along the gametophyte stems. Monophyletic pleurocarpous mosses were resolved as three orders: Ptychomniales, Hypnales, and Hookeriales (Shaw et al.

A total of 57 genera and 109 species of mosses are reported based on collections made from the 1995 expedition to Yushu Prefecture of Qinghai province. Didymodon gaochienii and Or­ thomitrium schofieldii are described new to science. Encalypta intermedia, Hygrohypnum po/are and Leptopterygynandrum austro-alpinum are three moss records that have not previously been reported from China. Significant range extensions . are reported for Amblyodon dealbatum, Conardia compacta, Distichium hagenii, Grimmia anodon, Leptopterygynandrum subintegrum, Oedipodium gri.ffithianum, Orthotrichum pumilum, Philonotis calcarea, Plagiobryum demissum and Pylaisiella falcata . In addition, four new synonyms are proposed with their respective accepted names placed in­ side brackets: Aloina rubripila Aziz & Vohra [ =Aloina rigida var. obliquifolia (C. Muell.)

Li [=Didymodon constrictus var. jlexicaulis (Chen) Saito] and Tortu/a longimucronata X.-J. Li [=Syntrichia ruralis (Hedw.) Web. & Mohr]. INTRODUCTION The province of Qinghai, with an area of about 720,000 sq. km, is the fourth largest province in China. It consitutes the eastern flank of the massive Tibetan plateau. The nu­ merous mountain glaciers in the province form the headwater of many great river systems in China and Indochina, such as Yellow River, Yangtze River and Mekong River. Because of its great distance from the ocean, the prevailing climate is strongly continental with in­ tense diurnal changes of daily temperature and a long winter season.

  • About the Book the Format Acknowledgments
    About the Book For more than ten years I have been working on a book on bryophyte ecology and was joined by Heinjo During, who has been very helpful in critiquing multiple versions of the chapters. But as the book progressed, the field of bryophyte ecology progressed faster. No chapter ever seemed to stay finished, hence the decision to publish online. Furthermore, rather than being a textbook, it is evolving into an encyclopedia that would be at least three volumes. Having reached the age when I could retire whenever I wanted to, I no longer needed be so concerned with the publish or perish paradigm. In keeping with the sharing nature of bryologists, and the need to educate the non-bryologists about the nature and role of bryophytes in the ecosystem, it seemed my personal goals could best be accomplished by publishing online. This has several advantages for me. I can choose the format I want, I can include lots of color images, and I can post chapters or parts of chapters as I complete them and update later if I find it important. Throughout the book I have posed questions. I have even attempt to offer hypotheses for many of these. It is my hope that these questions and hypotheses will inspire students of all ages to attempt to answer these. Some are simple and could even be done by elementary school children. Others are suitable for undergraduate projects. And some will take lifelong work or a large team of researchers around the world. Have fun with them! The Format The decision to publish Bryophyte Ecology as an ebook occurred after I had a publisher, and I am sure I have not thought of all the complexities of publishing as I complete things, rather than in the order of the planned organization.

Amphidium (Rhabdoweisiaceae, Musci). — Ann. Bot. Fennici 36: 265–269. Amphidium tortuosum (Hornsch.) Cufod. is the only species of the family Rhabdowei- siaceae occurring in Western Melanesia and New Guinea. Both collections came from cliff walls, one of them was in an open grassland area and the other in closed montane rainforest. The placement of Amphidium Schimp. in the neighbourhood of Dicranaceae and in the family Rhabdoweisiaceae instead of Orthotrichaceae is based on the pres- ence of epigametophytic plants in Amphidium, which are unknown in the Orthotrichaceae, on the rhizoid topography similar to Dicranaceae and different from that in Orthotricha- ceae, the pattern of papillosity of leaf cells, and on recent evidence from nucleotide sequences. Key words: Amphidium, Papua New Guinea, rhizoid topography, systematics, taxonomy, West Irian INTRODUCTION et al. (1999).
