Tortula Modica Pottia Intermedia Blunt-Fruited Pottia Key 266 Pottiales Tortula modica Pottia intermedia Blunt-fruited Pottia Key 266 Capsules longer than wide 5 mm 1 mm 2 mm Identification This moss looks like T. truncata (p. 482), but with capsules longer than wide and leaves with partly recurved margins. Shoots form patches or occur scattered, up to 1.5 cm tall. Leaves are about 2–2.5 mm long. Capsules are common in winter and spring, longer (about 1–1.5 mm) than wide, and typically widest slightly below the rim. They are borne on a seta 4–6 mm long and have a pointed lid. The peristome is absent or rudimentary. Similar species T. truncata (p. 482) has capsules not (or very little) longer than wide and a distinctively wide mouth, and its leaves have plane margins. T. lanceola (p. 481) is a smaller moss (shoots up to 5 mm tall) and has dark, red-brown capsules that are more obviously narrowed at the rim and with an obvious peristome. T. viridifolia (p. 484) is typically smaller (shoots up to 5 mm tall), with leaves wider relative to their length, a less tapering tip, and often a more longly excurrent nerve. Pottiopsis caespitosa (p. 437) is a smaller moss (about 1 mm tall), with capsules hardly longer than wide. Pottia davalliana and P. starkeana (p. 487) are smaller mosses (shoots up to 3 mm tall), with leaves only about 1 mm long and capsules that have a bluntly conical rather than a longly pointed lid. Protobryum bryoides (p. 485) has a capsule that does not shed its lid, and usually shorter (2–5.5 mm long) setae, so that the capsules only just clear the leaves. Hennediella species (pp. 490–491) may look similar, but the leaves are toothed near the tip. Habitat T. modica grows on disturbed soil in fields and gardens, on waste ground, banks, anthills and molehills, coastal slopes, in quarries, by tracks and paths, and on walls. It may also grow with Hennediella heimii on the upper reaches of saltmarshes. Photo Jonathan Sleath Drawings Jonathan Graham Text Mark Lawley 483.

In this paper, we present the chloroplast genome sequence of T. ruralis, only the second published chloroplast genome for a moss, and the first for a vegetatively desiccation-tolerant plant. Results: The Tortula chloroplast genome is ~123,500 bp, and differs in a number of ways from that of Physcomitrella patens, the first published moss chloroplast genome. For example, Tortula lacks the ~71 kb inversion found in the large single copy region of the Physcomitrella genome and other members of the Funariales.

Siles. Sci. Natur., 68: 11-24, 2019. Abstract: A new bryophyte checklist for Afghanistan is presented, including all published records since the beginning of collection activities in 1839 ‒1840 by W. Griffith till present. Considering several unidentified collections in various herbaria, 23 new records for Afghanistan together with the collection data can be added to the flora. Beside a new genus, Asterella , the new records include Amblystegium serpens var. serpens, Brachythecium erythrorrhizon, Bryum dichotomum, B. elwendicum, B. pallens, B. weigelii, Dichodontium palustre, Didymodon luridus, D. tectorum, Distichium inclinatum, Entosthodon muhlenbergii, Hygroamblystegium fluviatile subsp. fluviatile, Oncophorus virens, Orthotrichum rupestre var. sturmii, Pogonatum urnigerum, Pseudocrossidium revolutum, Pterygoneurum ovatum, Schistidium rivulare, Syntrichia handelii, Tortella inflexa, T. tortuosa, and Tortula muralis subsp. obtusifolia . Therewith the number of species increase to 24 liverworts, 246 mosses and one hornwort. In addition, a historical overview of the country's exploration and a full biogeography of Afghan bryophytes is given. Key words: Bryophytes, checklist, flora, phytodiversity. Introduction Recording, documentation, identification and classification of organisms is a primary tool and essential step in plant sciences and ecology to obtain detailed knowledge on the flora of a country. In many countries, such as Afghanistan, however, our knowledge on plant diversity, function, interactions of species and number of species in ecosystems is very limited and far from being complete.

  • Taxonomic Reevaluation of Didymodon Nigrescens (Pottiaceae) in Japan
    Hattoria 11: 61–75. 2020 Taxonomic reevaluation of Didymodon nigrescens (Pottiaceae) in Japan Yuya INOUE1, 2, Juan A. JIMÉNEZ3, Takumi SATO2, Hiromi TSUBOTA1 & Tomio YAMAGUCHI1 1 Program of Basic Biology, Graduate School of Integrated Sciences for Life, Hiroshima University, Kagamiyama 1–3–1, Higashihiroshima, Hiroshima 739–8526, Japan 2 Hattori Botanical Laboratory, Obi 6–1–26, Nichinan, Miyazaki 889–2535, Japan 3 Departamento de Biología Vegetal, Facultad de Biología, Universidad de Murcia, Campus de Espinardo 30100, Murcia, Spain Author for correspondence: Yuya INOUE, [email protected] Abstract Based on morphological investigation and molecular phylogenetic analysis, we find that the previous concept of Didymodon nigrescens (Mitt.) K.Saito sensu Saito in Japan includes D. nigrescens and D. subandreaeoides (Kindb.) R.H.Zander, the latter newly reported from Japan. Morphological and phylogenetic data from Japanese material clearly segregate these species from each other. In addition, Japanese D. nigrescens shows two groups, with morphological traits supporting the phylogeny, requiring further morpho-molecular evaluation based on broad sampling. Descriptions with analytical illustrations are provided based on Japanese material. Andreaea takakii Sakurai is proposed as a synonym of D. subandreaeoides. Introduction Didymodon nigrescens (Mitt.) K.Saito is a member of a group of Holarctic mosses whose range penetrates deeply into the tropics, including Central America and East Africa (Bednarek- Ochyra 2018). According to the monograph of Japanese Pottiaceae (Saito 1975), the species grows on calcareous rocks or cliffs in montane to subalpine zones, and was known from several localities from Central Honshu and Shikoku. Saito circumscribed the species by the following characters: (1) plants dark brown to blackish-green, (2) stems more or less branched, (3) basal cells of the leaves rhomboidal, sclerenchymatous near the costa, (4) seta moderately thick, strongly flattened when dry, and (5) perichaetial leaves about two times as long as the stem-leaves.

A note on Pottia intermedia (Turner) Fürnr. (Pottiaceae, Bryop- sida) with special reference to its phylogeny and new localities in SW Japan. Hikobia 16: 67–78. Eight new localities of Pottia intermedia (Turner) Fürnr. are recorded from Honshu and Shikoku (Hiroshima, Kagawa and Ehime Prefs.), SW Japan. Although it is widely distributed in the world, this species is a rare moss in Japan and is previously known from Honshu, Shikoku and Kyushu for Japan. Japanese populations of P. intermedia grow on soil in open sites, especially in citrus orchards. Analytical illustrations with SEM images of peristome, spores and leaf papillae and a discussion on the phyloge- netic position of this species are provided based on the materials collected.

CANO*, OLAF WERNER and JUAN GUERRA Departamento de Biología Vegetal (Botánica), Facultad de Biología, Universidad de Murcia, E-30100, Spain Received March 2005; accepted for publication June 2005 Specimens belonging to Tortula subulata complex (T. inermis, T. mucronifolia and T. subulata) were analysed using a combination of morphometric methods based on quantitative characters [principal component analysis (PCA), dis- criminant analysis (DA); 76 samples)] and molecular methods (ITS1 – 5.8S rRNA gene and ITS2; 47 samples) to assess patterns of morphological and molecular differentiation within this complex of taxa. The study shows that four species can be recognized: T. mucronifolia, T. subulata, T. inermis and T. subulata var. angustata with bistratose border, which is elevated to the species rank as T. schimperi nom. nov. The most valuable quantitative characters for identification of these species are the strata number of the marginal laminal cells, the ratio of middle marginal laminal cell width/middle marginal laminal cell length, basal membrane of peristome length, middle laminal cell width and papillae number on the middle laminal cells. The internal transcribed spacer (ITS) data suggest that this group of taxa is not monophyletic, T. mucronifolia being close to Protobryum bryoides (= Tortula protobryoides). The remaining species seem to be a monophyletic group, T.
