Guide for using the checklist

The checklist is grouped into the three main subdivisions within the bryophytes: Hepatophyta (liverworts),

Anthocerotophyta (hornworts), and Bryophyta (true mosses). Within each of these groups, the families are arranged alphabetically.

The genera in each family are also arranged alphabetically. Accepted genus names are given in bold upper case, for example, MITTENOTHAMNIUM. Genus names in italics, for example, DICRANOLEJEUNEA, are synonyms.

Bryophytes constitute an interesting component of the flora of Zimbabwe, which is represented by dried specimens held at the National Herbarium of Zimbabwe (SRGH). Bryophytes play a very important role in the balance of nature, aiding in the absorption of water and the cycling of nutrients. It is therefore necessary to have an updated checklist of this component of the Zimbabwean flora.

This checklist is a compilation of specimens and citation records that are held at the National Herbarium of Zimbabwe (SRGH). The arrangement of liverwort families was originally after Magill and Schelpe (1979), based on Grolle (1972), but has now been updated according to Wiggington (2002) and is in alphabetical order. The arrangement of mosses up to generic level initially followed Crosby and Magill (1981), but is now alphabetical as well. O’Shea (1999) was also consulted and this list includes many changes that have been made since publication of a checklist by Best (1990).

An asterisk (*) next to the distribution indicates specimens represented by citation records only, not by specimens in the herbarium.

Synonyms were taken from the following references: Arnell (1963), Best (1990), O’Shea (1999), Wiggington (2002), as well as Perold (2003) and Van Rooy (2003).

We hope that in addition to complementing the national checklist of vascular plants of Zimbabwe, this checklist will provide updated information on Zimbabwean bryophyte taxa, as well as assist in the identifica- tion of needs for further research and collection of bryophytes in Zimbabwe.

Guide for using the checklist

The checklist is grouped into the three main subdivisions within the bryophytes: Hepatophyta (liverworts), Anthocerotophyta (hornworts), and Bryophyta (true mosses). Within each of these groups, the families are arranged alphabetically.

Within each genus, both accepted species names and synonyms are listed alphabetically, as in the example above. Accepted species names are given in bold lower case, for example, pseudoreptans and reptans. Syno- nyms are in italics and are followed by the accepted name in bold, for example, cygnicollum (Dixon) Wijk & Margad. = M. reptans. Synonyms are also listed below the current name, indented and in parenthesis, for example, (M. cygnicollum (Dixon) Wijk & Margad.)

Distribution of the species within Zimbabwe, as reflected by SRGH specimen collections and citations, is indicated by letters representing the five floristic distributions—North, West, Central, East, and South (see map on page 2). Note that an asterisk (*) after the letter shows that the distribution is based on citation only.

20 A checklist of Zimbabwean bryophytes About SABONET

This publication is a product of the Southern African Botanical Diversity Network (SABONET), a programme aimed at strengthening the level of botanical expertise, expanding and improving herbarium and botanic garden collections, and foster- ing closer collaborative links among botanists in the southern African subcontinent.

The main objective of SABONET is to develop a strong core of professional botanists, taxonomists, horticulturists, and plant diversity specialists within the ten countries of southern Africa (Angola, Botswana, Lesotho, Malawi, Mozambique, Namibia, South Africa, Swaziland, Zambia and Zimbabwe). This core group will be competent to inventory, monitor, evaluate, and conserve the botanical diversity of the region in the face of specific development challenges, and to respond to the technical and scientific needs of the Convention on Biological Diversity.

To enhance the human resource capacity and infrastructure available in the region, SABONET offers training courses, work- shops, and collaborative expeditions in under-collected areas. The programme produces a newsletter, SABONET News, and a series of occasional publications, the Southern African Botanical Diversity Network Report Series, of which this publication is part.

SABONET is co-funded by: • The United States Agency for International Development (USAID/World Conservation Union—Regional Office for southern Africa (IUCN-ROSA) • The Global Environment Facility (GEF)/United Nations Development Programme (UNDP)
