Data on its ecology are included and the species is proposed as threatened. Trematodon / Bruchiaceae / Iberian Peninsula / Spain / distribution / ecology / conservation Resumen – Se indica la presencia de Trematodon ambiguus en dos localidades del Pirineo de Aragón, siendo las únicas localidades ibéricas conocidas de este musgo. Se incluyen datos de su ecología y se propone su consideración como especie amenazada. Trematodon / Bruchiaceae / Península Ibérica / España / distribución / ecología / conservación INTRODUCTION Trematodon Mich. (Bruchiaceae) is a nearly cosmopolitan genus that encloses circa a hundred species, only five in Europe (Dierßen, 2001). Trema- todon ambiguus is known from North and South America and Eurasia. Trematodon ambiguus has been recorded in many European countries (Duell, 1984), although always as a rare species of irregular distribution both in space and time. It seems to be more frequent in Fennoscandia (Nyholm, 1981), but in the rest of the continent, its records are sparse and sporadic. Moreover, the avail- able data indicate that the species has become rarer, it was more common in the XIXth century than in the XXth one. For example, in Great Britain, it has not been found since 1883 (Smith, 1980) and in Belgium, it was collected four times from 1884 till 1904 (Demaret & Castagne, 1961), but much more sporadically until 1988 (Stieperaere, 1991). -

Palynology of Amphidiumschimp.(Amphidiaceae
Acta Botanica Brasilica - 33(1): 135-140. Jan-Mar 2019. doi: 10.1590/0102-33062018abb0328 Palynology of Amphidium Schimp. (Amphidiaceae M. Stech): can spore morphology circumscribe the genus? Marcella de Almeida Passarella1* and Andrea Pereira Luizi-Ponzo2 Received: September 26, 2018 Accepted: January 7, 2019 . ABSTRACT Amphidium Schimp. is characterized by cushion-forming erect primary stems, linear-lanceolate leaves, and gymnostome capsules. The phylogenetic position ofAmphidium is uncertain, with the genus having been variously included in Zygodontaceae Schimp., Rhabdoweisiaceae Limpr., Orthotrichaceae Arn. and Amphidiaceae M. Stech. A palynological investigation was performed of the three species of the genus that occur in the Americas: Amphidium lapponicum (Hedw.) Schimp., Amphidium mougeotii (Bruch & Schimp.) Schimp., and Amphidium tortuosum (Hornsch.) Cufod. Spores were observed and measured for greatest diameter under light microscopy both before and after acetolysis. Non-acetolyzed spores were observed under scanning electron microscopy to assess surface ornamentation of the sporoderm. All spores observed were smaller than 20 µm and heteropolar, with surface ornamentation reflecting a combination of different elements, such as gemmae, rugulae and perforations. The palynological characteristics observed here suggest that the genus Amphidium, and thus its contained species, be placed in their own family.

Bruchiaceae Collected in Karnataka, India, with a Synopsis of the Family in India
Bruchiaceae collected in Karnataka 1 Bruchiaceae collected in Karnataka, India, with a synopsis of the family in India 1 UWE SCHWARZ 1 Prestige Grand Oak 202, 7th Main, 1st Cross, HAL IInd Stage, Indira Nagar, Bangalore 560038, India, [email protected] Abstract: Schwarz, U. (2014): Bruchiaceae collected in Karnataka, India, with a synopsis of the family in India. Frahmia 10:1-9. During the exploration of the bryophyte flora of Karnataka, India, 2 species belonging to the family of Bruchiaceae, Trematodon longicollis and Trematodon schmidii, were found. Both species are illustrated. An overview about all the 10 species of Bruchiaceae in India, inclusive a key, short description and line drawings are provided. 1. Introduction The rich bryoflora of the state of Karnataka in Southern India is poorly explored which became obvious during the compilation of a recent checklist by SCHWARZ (2013). Ongoing collections since 2012, in particular in the Western Ghats, as well as studies on the collected material reveal species that have so far only been found in the “classical collection areas” like the Nilgiri and Palni Hills. The family of Bruchiaceae can also be taken as a good example for this. Without a comprehensive bryoflora for India in place it is always challenging to come to a reasonable conclusion during the identification. Even though GANGULEE (1969-1980) and CHOPRA (1975) provide a very good indication both of them can’t reflect the development of the last 30 years. Therefor a synopsis of the family based current status of the author’s knowledge is provided. Information about the distribution of the species in India can only be preliminary as not all of the approximately 1500 articles about Indian bryology have been analyzed so far. -

(Musci: Bruchiaceae) reported from Northern Tyrol, Austria: Spore germination and protonemal development by Wolfgang HOFBAUER, James H. DICKSON & Ronald D. PORLEY*) S y n o p s i s : The moss Trematodon ambiguus was discovered in 2001 on a wet mountain slope above Sölden, Northern Tyrol. Distribution (local and remote), propagation and ecology are shortly discussed. Experiences with culture of spores that were stored under herbarium conditions for prolonged time and the development of special resting cells in protonemata are presented. Keywords: Trematodon ambiguus, propagation, sporebank, Iceman, Northern Tyrol 1. Introduction: The discovery of Trematodon ambiguus (HEDW.) HORNSCH. near Sölden in Northern Tyrol, Austria, was made in September 2001 during surveys of selected areas of the Ötztal Alps (Austria and Italy) and the Vinschgau region (Italy) in connection with the preserved body of the 5200 year old Tyrolean Iceman. See DICKSON (2000, 2003) and DICKSON et al., (1996, 2005, 2009) for discussions of the bryogeographical, ethnobotanical and palaeoen- vironmental significance of the bryophytes associated with the Iceman. Trematodon ambiguus (Bruchiaceae) is a small acrocarp which produces abundant sporophytes with a distinctive apophysis. Spores are of a medium size and measure about 30 µm (SAUER 2000, HILL et al. 2007). This is in agreement with most other authors (e.g. NYHOLM 1987, STEBEL & OCHYRA 1997, CORTINI-PEDROTTI 2001) but stands in contrast with YU et al. (2000) who reported the spore size to range from 18. -
The Bryophyte Flora of the Big Thicket National Preserve: Hardin, Tyler, and Polk Counties, Texas
The Bryophyte Flora of the Big Thicket National Preserve: Hardin, Tyler, and Polk Counties, Texas Dale A. Kruse Paul G. Davison S. M. Tracy Herbarium (TAES) Department of Biology Texas A & M University University of North Alabama 2138 TAMU UNA Box 5232 College Station, TX 77843-2138 Florence, AL 35632-0001 [email protected] [email protected] ABSTRACT The Big Thicket region is a complex mix of terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems which produce a very diverse flora and fauna. A floristic inventory of the bryophyte flora in the Big Thicket National Preserve, Hardin, Polk, and Tyler Counties, Texas, was conducted from January 2007 to September 2011. This inventory resulted in an updated checklist of 179 species of hornworts, liverworts, and mosses, in 98 genera and 54 families. Thirteen potentially new state records, twelve (12) liverworts and one (1) moss, are reported. INTRODUCTION The “big thicket” region of southeast Texas has long been referred to as a biological crossroads. Situated as the intersection of several distinct eco-regions; the area harbors a unique mix of plants and animals indicative of the southeastern swamps, eastern forests, central plains, and the southwestern United States. Its biota includes species from tropical and subtropical biomes, as well as those characteristic of the arid west (Gunter 1993). The region also represents the western-most extension of the southeastern evergreen forests (McCleod 1971), and is the western boundary for distributions of many aquatic insects with largely eastern affinities (Abbott et al. 1997). The Big Thicket National Preserve (BITH), founded in 1974, seeks to preserve the fragmented remnants of a once much larger and contiguous region of natural ecosystems. -
