A new monospeci®c genus, Benitotania, is described on the basis of B. elimbata H. Akiyama, T. Yamag, & M. Suleiman, collected in the northern part of Sabah, Malaysia. It appears to be most closely related to Adelothecium and Bryobrothera. Mt.

Two species are recognized, namely C. remotifolia (Müll. Hal.) Z. Iwats. et al. and C. spinosa (Nog.) Ninh. A key to species, descriptions, and illustrations for the species of Calyptrochaeta occurring in Thailand are provided. In addition, lectotype for the names Eriopus spinosus Nog. (= C. spinosa) are also designated in here. KEYWORDS: Bryophyta, Calyptrochaeta, Daltoniaceae, lectotypification, moss, Thailand. Published online: 8 December 2016 INTRODUCTION 1990; Lin & Tan, 1995; Mohamed & Robinson, 1991; Ho & Kruijer, 2007), there are few reports of The genus Calyptrochaeta, a member of the this genus from Thailand. The first report of family Daltoniaceae, was first established by Calyptrochaeta in Thailand was published by Touw Desvaux in 1825 based on Calyptrochaeta cristata (1968), who reported C. remotifolia (Müll.Hal.) (Hedw.) Desv. It comprises approximately 30 species Z.Iwats. et al. (as Eriopus remotifolius Müll.Hal.) (Streimann, 2000; Frey & Stech, 2009), which are from Nakhorn Si Thammarat Province. Later, usually found growing on humus, decaying wood Akiyama et al. (2011) reported C. ramosa (M.Fleisch.) and tree bases in montane forest, and is distributed B.C.Tan & H.Rob. subsp. spinosa (Nog.) P.J.Lin & mainly in tropical regions of the world (Ho & B.C.Tan (= C. spinosa (Nog.) Ninh) from Doi Kruijer, 2007). Calyptrochaeta is easily recognized Inthanon National Park, Chiang Mai Province.

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).

  • Bryophyte Biology Second Edition
    This page intentionally left blank Bryophyte Biology Second Edition Bryophyte Biology provides a comprehensive yet succinct overview of the hornworts, liverworts, and mosses: diverse groups of land plants that occupy a great variety of habitats throughout the world. This new edition covers essential aspects of bryophyte biology, from morphology, physiological ecology and conservation, to speciation and genomics. Revised classifications incorporate contributions from recent phylogenetic studies. Six new chapters complement fully updated chapters from the original book to provide a completely up-to-date resource. New chapters focus on the contributions of Physcomitrella to plant genomic research, population ecology of bryophytes, mechanisms of drought tolerance, a phylogenomic perspective on land plant evolution, and problems and progress of bryophyte speciation and conservation. Written by leaders in the field, this book offers an authoritative treatment of bryophyte biology, with rich citation of the current literature, suitable for advanced students and researchers. BERNARD GOFFINET is an Associate Professor in Ecology and Evolutionary Biology at the University of Connecticut and has contributed to nearly 80 publications. His current research spans from chloroplast genome evolution in liverworts and the phylogeny of mosses, to the systematics of lichen-forming fungi. A. JONATHAN SHAW is a Professor at the Biology Department at Duke University, an Associate Editor for several scientific journals, and Chairman for the Board of Directors, Highlands Biological Station. He has published over 130 scientific papers and book chapters. His research interests include the systematics and phylogenetics of mosses and liverworts and population genetics of peat mosses.
