  • A Revision of Schoenobryum (Cryphaeaceae, Bryopsida) in Africa1
    Revision of Schoenobryum 147 Tropical Bryology 24: 147-159, 2003 A revision of Schoenobryum (Cryphaeaceae, Bryopsida) in Africa1 Brian J. O’Shea 141 Fawnbrake Avenue, London SE24 0BG, U.K. Abstract. The nine species and two varieties of Schoenobryum reported for Africa were investigated, and no characters were found that uniquely identified any of the taxa to be other than the pantropical Schoenobryum concavifolium. The following nine names become new synonyms of S. concavifolium: Cryphaea madagassa, C. subintegra, Acrocryphaea robusta, A. latifolia, A. subrobusta, A. tisserantii, A. latifolia var. microspora, A. plicatula and A. subintegra var. idanreense; a lectotype is selected for Acrocryphaea latifolia var. microspora P.de la Varde.

  • Floristic Study of Bryophytes in a Subtropical Forest of Nabeup-Ri at Aewol Gotjawal, Jejudo Island

Taxon. 48(1): 100 108 (2018) eISSN 2466-1546 https://doi.org/10.11110/kjpt.2018.48.1.100 Korean Journal of ORIGINAL ARTICLE Plant Taxonomy Floristic study of bryophytes in a subtropical forest of Nabeup-ri at Aewol Gotjawal, Jejudo Island Eun-Young YIM* and Hwa-Ja HYUN Warm Temperate and Subtropical Forest Research Center, National Institute of Forest Science, Seogwipo 63582, Korea (Received 24 February 2018; Revised 26 March 2018; Accepted 29 March 2018) ABSTRACT: This study presents a survey of bryophytes in a subtropical forest of Nabeup-ri, known as Geumsan Park, located at Aewol Gotjawal in the northwestern part of Jejudo Island, Korea. A total of 63 taxa belonging to Bryophyta (22 families 37 genera 44 species), Marchantiophyta (7 families 11 genera 18 species), and Antho- cerotophyta (1 family 1 genus 1 species) were determined, and the liverwort index was 30.2%. The predominant life form was the mat form. The rates of bryophytes dominating in mesic to hygric sites were higher than the bryophytes mainly observed in xeric habitats. These values indicate that such forests are widespread in this study area. Moreover, the rock was the substrate type, which plays a major role in providing micro-habitats for bryophytes. We suggest that more detailed studies of the bryophyte flora should be conducted on a regional scale to provide basic data for selecting indicator species of Gotjawal and evergreen broad-leaved forests on Jejudo Island. Keywords: bryophyte, Aewol Gotjawal, liverwort index, life-form Jejudo Island was formed by volcanic activities and has geological, ecological, and cultural aspects (Jeong et al., 2013; unique topological and geological features.

  • On the Genus Hedwigia (Hedwigiaceae, Bryophyta) in Russia К Систематике Рода Hedwigia (Hedwigiaceae, Bryophyta) В России Elena A
    Arctoa (2016) 25: 241–277 doi: 10.15298/arctoa.25.20 ON THE GENUS HEDWIGIA (HEDWIGIACEAE, BRYOPHYTA) IN RUSSIA К СИСТЕМАТИКЕ РОДА HEDWIGIA (HEDWIGIACEAE, BRYOPHYTA) В РОССИИ ELENA A. IGNATOVA1, OXANA I. KUZNETSOVA2, VLADIMIR E. FEDOSOV1 & MICHAEL S. IGNATOV1,2 ЕЛЕНА А. ИГНАТОВА1, ОКСАНА И. КУЗНЕЦОВА2, ВЛАДИМИР Э. ФЕДОСОВ1, МИХАИЛ С. ИГНАТОВ1,2 Abstract An integrative molecular and morphological study of the genus Hedwigia in Russia revealed at least five distinct species in its territory. Hedwigia czernyadjevae sp. nov. appears to have a wide distribution in Transbaikalia, Yakutia and high mountains of the Russian Far East, although it never occurs frequently. Previously its specimens were identified as H. stellata, but straight leaf apices, strongly incrassate and porose laminal cells and hairy calyptrae differentiate H. czernyadjevae from this species, in addition to sequence data, which place the Siberian species closer to American H. detonsa. Hedwigia nemoralis sp. nov. occurs in southern regions of Russia, from the Caucasus to the Russian Far East, with one locality in Central European Russia. It was also revealed from eastern North America. It is characterized by a small plant size, shortly acuminate, secund leaves with short, denticulate hyaline hair points and weakly ciliate perichaetial leaves. Hedwigia mollis sp. nov. has shortly recurved leaf margins, weakly sinuose laminal cells and spores 20–25(–28) m. It was re- vealed in European Russia, from the southern Murmansk Province and Karelia to the Caucasus, and from South Urals and Altai Mts. Hedwigia ciliata is infrequent in Russia, occurring mainly in the North-Western European Russia, with few localities in its central part.

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.

Hughes B.S. Clemson University Chairperson: Dr. Zack E. Murrell The Southern Appalachian Mountains have been an active region of botanical exploration for over 250 years. The high mountain peaks of western North Carolina, in particular, have attracted interest due to their resemblance of forest communities in NeW England and Canada and to their high species diversity. From the middle of the 19th century, Grandfather Mountain has been a destination for famous botanists conducting research in the region.

  • Molecular Phylogenetics of Mosses and Relatives
    MOLECULAR PHYLOGENETICS OF MOSSES AND RELATIVES! by! Ying Chang! ! ! A THESIS SUBMITTED IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF ! DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY! in! The Faculty of Graduate Studies! (Botany)! ! ! THE UNIVERSITY OF BRITISH COLUMBIA! (Vancouver)! July 2011! © Ying Chang, 2011 ! ABSTRACT! Substantial ambiguities still remain concerning the broad backbone of moss phylogeny. I surveyed 17 slowly evolving plastid genes from representative taxa to reconstruct phylogenetic relationships among the major lineages of mosses in the overall context of land-plant phylogeny. I first designed 78 bryophyte-specific primers and demonstrated that they permit straightforward amplification and sequencing of 14 core genes across a broad range of bryophytes (three of the 17 genes required more effort). In combination, these genes can generate sturdy and well- resolved phylogenetic inferences of higher-order moss phylogeny, with little evidence of conflict among different data partitions or analyses. Liverworts are strongly supported as the sister group of the remaining land plants, and hornworts as sister to vascular plants. Within mosses, besides confirming some previously published findings based on other markers, my results substantially improve support for major branching patterns that were ambiguous before. The monogeneric classes Takakiopsida and Sphagnopsida likely represent the first and second split within moss phylogeny, respectively. However, this result is shown to be sensitive to the strategy used to estimate DNA substitution model parameter values and to different data partitioning methods. Regarding the placement of remaining nonperistomate lineages, the [[[Andreaeobryopsida, Andreaeopsida], Oedipodiopsida], peristomate mosses] arrangement receives moderate to strong support. Among peristomate mosses, relationships among Polytrichopsida, Tetraphidopsida and Bryopsida remain unclear, as do the earliest splits within sublcass Bryidae.

A checklist of the mosses of Bhutan DAVID G. LONG Royal Botanic Garden, Edinburgh, U.K. SUMMARY A checklist is given of the mosses of Bhutan based on published reports. Totals of 156 genera and 282, species are recorded. The main past collectors of mosses in Bhutan are listed, together with sources of erroneous reports; 44 erroneous and doubtful taxa are excluded. The name Breutelia setschwanica is applied to the only Himalayan mem- ber of the genus. The name Barbula [lavicans is proposed as an avowed substitute for the illegitimate Tortula [lavescens Hook. & Grev. (Barbula fuscescens C. Mull. nom. inval.) KEYWORDS: Mosses, checklist, Bhutan, Himalaya, Breutelia setschwanica, Barbula [lavicans. INTRODUCTION Of all the countries and states in the Himalayan region, Bhutan is probably one of the richest bryologically yet one of the least-known.
