  • Bryophyte Studies in Thailand: Past, Present, and Future
    Cryptogamie, Bryologie, 2014, 35 (1): 5-17 © 2014 Adac. Tous droits réservés Bryophyte Studies in Thailand: Past, Present, and Future Phiangphak SUKKHARAKa * & Sahut CHANTANAORRAPINT b a Department of Biology, Faculty of Science, Burapha University, Mueang, 20131 Chonburi, Thailand b Department of Biology, Faculty of Science, Prince of Songkla University, Hat Yai, 90110, Songkhla, Thailand Abstract – The historical development of bryophyte studies in Thailand is reviewed. Two historical periods are distinguished: the first period, 1899-1977, during which collections were made and studies were carried out by foreign botanists/bryologists in the framework of expeditions and the Flora of Thailand project; and the second one, 1977 to the present day, in which bryophyte work has been done mainly by Thai bryologists. In total, two species of hornworts, 20 of liverworts, and 63 of mosses have been described as new to science based on collections from Thailand. Of these, 48 are hitherto only known from Thailand and may be considered endemic to the country. Future work should focus more on taxonomic treatments of individual genera although further area-based research is also necessary. Bryophytes / hornworts / liverworts / mosses / Thailand INTRODUCTION Thailand, formerly known as Siam, is situated in Southeast Asia between 5-21°N and 97-106°E covering a total area of 513,115 square kilometres (Santisuk, 2007). The highest mountain in Thailand is Doi Inthanon, reaching 2,565 m asl. In the framework of the Flora of Thailand project the country has been divided into seven floristic or phytogeographical areas (Northern, North-eastern, Eastern, South-western, Central, South-eastern, Peninsular) (Smitinand, 1958).
