Cette série de mémoires a pour but de permettre la publication de travaux floristiques sur l’est et le nord du Canada, notamment ceux consacrés aux flores régionales dont l’ampleur empêche leur parution dans les périodiques courants. Provancheria veut ainsi mettre à la disposition des phytogéographes et des taxonomistes intéressés à la flore canadienne des données qui autrement devraient rester inédites. Provancheria est principalement distribué en échange de publications similaires.

ЗАГАДОЧНЫЙ СЛУЧАЙ В РОДЕ PODPERAEA (HYPNALES, BRYOPHYTA) MICHAEL S. IGNATOV1 & IRINA A. MILYUTINA2 МИХАИЛ С. ИГНАТОВ1, ИРИНА А.МИЛЮТИНА2 Abstract A new species from China, Podperaea baii, is described. In addition to morpho- logical differences from the second species of the genus, P. krylovii (Amlystegiaceae s.l.), P. baii differs in the nrITS1 sequence, which is very similar to that of the genus Herzogiella from the phylogenetically distant family Plagiotheciaceae. At the same time, nrITS2 in P. baii is much more similar to Amblystegiaceae than Plagiothe- ciaceae. This case is the first report of the putative remote hybridization in mosses. Резюме Из Китая описан новый вид, Podperaea baii, который, помимо небольших морфологических отличий от второго вида рода, P. krylovii (семейство Amlyste- giaceae s.l.), отличается еще последовательностью ITS1, которая соответствует роду Herzogiella из филогетически далекого семейства Plagiotheciaceae. При этом последовательность ITS2 у P. baii значительно более сходна с Amblystegia- ceae, нежели с Plagiotheciaceae. Данный случай является первым примером возможной отдаленной гибридазации у мхов.

The bryoflora of the Czech Republic is analysed using an updated version of the checklist that includes recent taxonomic and nomenclatural changes. In addition, the baseline data was com- pletely revised using the IUCN 3.1 criteria. The main list includes 863 species of bryophytes (4 hornworts, 207 liverworts and 652 mosses) with 5 additional subspecies and 23 generally recog- nized varieties; 9 additional species are listed as of doubtful taxonomic status and 17 other species are evaluated as of uncertain occurrence. Of the 892 taxa evaluated, 46% qualified for inclusion in Red List categories (40 taxa in category RE, 70 in CR, 88 in EN, 93 in VU, 66 in LR-nt, 24 in DD-va and 30 in DD), while 54% are considered Least Concern (LC).

  • Bryophyte Flora of the Uvac River Gorge (Southwest Serbia)
    Arch. Biol. Sci., Belgrade, 58 (3), 187-194, 2006. BRYOPHYTE FLORA OF THE UVAC RIVER GORGE (SOUTHWEST SERBIA) M. VELJIĆ, P. D. MARIN, D. LAKUŠIĆ andBILJANA LJUBIĆ Institute of Botany, Faculty of Biology, 11000 Belgrade, Serbia Abstract – In the examined area, 165 taxa were found and identified: 139 taxa from the class Bryopsida and 26 taxa from the class Marchantiopsida. Nine species are red-listed in Serbia. Material was collected from 62 localities, which were analyzed for similarity of chorological and ecological features using the Jaccard similarity index. Analysis of floristic elements and phytogeographic distribution showed that the greatest number of taxa are temperate elements with Holarctic distribution. Results of ecological analysis showed that in regard to the substratum aspect, terricolous, basophilous, and indifferent species were dominant. In relation to the ecological parameter humidity, most species were mesophilous. The majority of identified bryophytes were sciophilous taxa. Key words: Bryophyte flora, ecology, Uvac River Gorge, Serbia.

The the Bryophyta sensu Vitt et al. (1998), are undergoing Leucodontales comprise mainly epiphytic taxa, character- frequent reevaluation based on morphological (e.g., ized by sympodial branching and reduced peristomes, Buck, 1988, 1994; Hedena¨s, 1994, 1995, 1996a,b) and whereas the Hypnales are primarily terricolous and molecular (e.g., Goffinet and Vitt, 1998; Goffinet et al., monopodially branching. The third order, the Hookeriales, 1998; Cox and Hedderson, 1999) data. Until recently, is defined by a unique architecture of the endostome. We several generations of bryologists have utilized the sampled 78 exemplar taxa representing most families of classification of mosses proposed by Brotherus (1924– these orders and sequenced two chloroplast loci, the trnL- 1925), and for the most part showed little interest in trnF region and the rps4 gene, to test the monophyly and higher level classification (see Vitt et al., 1998).

  • Placing the European Hypnum Species in a Phylogenetic Context!
    Bry. Div.

SASKIA SCHLESAK1, LARS HEDENÄS2, MARTIN NEBEL1 & DIETMAR QUANDT1 1Nees Institute for Biodiversity of Plants, University of Bonn, Meckenheimer Allee 170, 53115 Bonn, Germany 2Department of Botany, Swedish Museum of Natural History, Box 50007, 104 05 Stockholm, Sweden Abstract The pleurocarpous moss genus Hypnum s.l. is a species-rich (> 40 species) cosmopolitan genus, of which 21 taxa occur in Europe. Although several of these species show high morphological resemblance there are strong indications that the genus is highly paraphyletic, which may be masked by convergent morphological evolution. Using molecular information, we analyse whether the morphological similarity of gametophytes of the European Hypnum taxa is explained by common an- cestry or convergence. We provide a phylogenetic reconstruction of the relationships of the currently recognized European Hypnum taxa in a broad pleurocarpous moss context (192 taxa) using the nuclear ITS1-5.8S-ITS2, the plastid rps4 gene and trnL-F, and the mitochondrial nad5 intron. Bayesian tree topologies show that the genus is polyphyletic, and we retain only the Hypnum cupressiforme complex within Hypnum. The genus originally represented half of the moss species diversity, as it accommodated basically all pleurocarpous mosses; here we retain only seven species and one variety. The remainder of the species where resolved either within the three families Amblystegiaceae, Entodontaceae, and Pylaisiaceae, or in an independent clade that we describe as the new family Stereodontaceae.
