Tayloria Splachnoides (Schleich. Ex Schwägr.) Hook., New to the Pyrenees (France)
Cryptogamie, Bryologie, 2009, 30 (3): 337-342 © 2009 Adac. Tous droits réservés Tayloria splachnoides (Schleich. ex Schwägr.) Hook., new to the Pyrenees (France) Vincent HUGONNOT* Le Bourg, 43270 Varennes Saint Honorat, France (Reçu le 22 Octobre 2008, accepté le 19 Mai 2009) Résumé – Tayloria splachnoides (Schleich. ex Schwägr.) Hook. est signalé pour la première fois dans la chaîne des Pyrénées sur la base de trois récoltes effectuées en 2007 dans le périmètre de la Réserve Naturelle de Mantet (Pyrénées-Orientales, France). Summary – Tayloria splachnoides (Schleich. ex Schwägr.) Hook. is recorded for the first time in the Pyrenees from three gatherings made in 2007 in the Natural Reserve of Mantet (Pyrénées-Orientales, France). Tayloria splachnoides /Splachnaceae / Pyrenees / ecology / Mantet INTRODUCTION In the course of a bryological survey of the Natural Reserve of Mantet (Pyrénées-Orientales, France), several populations of Tayloria splachnoides (Schleich. ex Schwägr.) Hook., a species not formerly recorded in any part of the Pyrenees, were found. Tayloria splachnoides is one of the eight members of genus Tayloria in Europe (Hill et al ., 2006), almost all of which are listed in the Red Data Book of European Bryophytes (ECCB, 1995) The worldwide distribution of Tayloria splachnoides was reviewed by Szmajda et al . ( in Ochyra & Szmajda, 1991). From the detailed analysis provided in this work, this species exhibits “a very wide but strongly discontinuous arctic- alpine range in the Holarctic” and recurs in “Central America”. In Europe the species is bicentric, occurring in the northern parts of the continent and in the Central European mountains, where it is mainly alpine. The species has been considered doubtful for France (Düll, 1985, 1992). -
Distribution and Phylogenetic Significance of the 71-Kb Inversion
Annals of Botany 99: 747–753, 2007 doi:10.1093/aob/mcm010, available online at www.aob.oxfordjournals.org Distribution and Phylogenetic Significance of the 71-kb Inversion in the Plastid Genome in Funariidae (Bryophyta) BERNARD GOFFINET1,*, NORMAN J.

This inversion of 57% of the genome is the largest rearrangement detected in the plastid genomes of plants to date. Although initially considered diagnostic of Physcomitrella patens, the inversion was recently shown to characterize the plastid genome of two species from related genera within Funariaceae, but was lacking in another member of Funariidae. The phylogenetic significance of the inversion has remained ambiguous. † Methods Exemplars of all families included in Funariidae were surveyed. DNA sequences spanning the inversion break ends were amplified, using primers that anneal to genes on either side of the putative end points of the inver- sion. Primer combinations were designed to yield a product for either the inverted or the non-inverted architecture. -

Physcomitrium Schummii Sp. Nov. from Karnataka, India with a Synopsis of the Funariaceae in India
Physcomitrium schummii sp. nov. from Karnataka, India … 1 Physcomitrium schummii sp. nov. from Karnataka, India with a synopsis of the Funariaceae in India 1 UWE SCHWARZ 1 Uwe Schwarz, Hohenstaufenstrasse 9, 70794 Filderstadt, Germany, [email protected] Abstract: Schwarz, U. (2016): Physcomitrium schummii sp. nov. from Karnataka, India with a synopsis of the Funariaceae in India. Frahmia 13:1-19. During the exploration of the bryoflora of Karnataka, India one new species of Physcomitrium was discovered and described as new species. Furthermore a synopsis of the family in India, represented by 4 genera, including 13 species of Entosthodon, 7 species of Funaria, 1 species of Loiseaubryum and 12 species of Physcomitrium is given. Funaria excurrentinervis, F. sinuatolimbata, F. subimmarginata, and F. pulchra are transferred to the genus Entosthodon. 1. Introduction First records of Funariaceae data back to 1842 where GRIFFITH (1842) reported Funaria hygrometrica from Upper Assam. He also described Funaria leptopoda, Gymnostomum repandum (= Physcomitrium repandum), and Gymnostomum pulchellum (= Physcomitrium pulchellum) from the same area. Besides the common Funaria hygrometrica MONTAGNE (1842) described in the same year Funaria physcomitrioides (= Entosthodon pulchellum) and Physcomitrium perrottetii (= Entosthodon perrottetii) form the Nilgiri Mountains in Southern India. Three more species, Entosthodon diversinervis and Entosthodon submarginatus, were added by MÜLLER (1853) and finally Funaria connivens (= Funaria hygrometrica var. calvescens) by MÜLLER (1855) to the flora of this area. MITTEN (1859) summarized the knowledge of the bryophytes of the Indian subcontinent which included records of 19 species, of which Physcomitrium cyathicarpum (= Physcomitrium immersum), Entosthodon wallichii (= Entosthodon buseanus), Entosthodon pilifer (= Funaria wijkii), Entosthodon nutans (= Loiseaubryum nutans) and Funaria orthocarpa were described new to science. -

(Dicranaceae, Bryophyta) Milorad Vujičić, Aneta Sabovljević and Marko Sabovljević✳ Institute of Botany and Garden Jevremovac, Faculty of Biology, University of Belgrade, Takovska 43, 11000 Belgrade, Serbia ABSTRACT: Th e aim of this study was to establish axenic culture of the moss Dicranum scoparium a counterpart of rare and widly endangered D. viride. Th e media contents, as well as light and temperature were varied to fi nd the optimal conditions for spore germination, protonema growing, bud formation and gametophyte development. Th e best contitions for micropropagation or axenically bryo-farming is to grow D. scoparium on the MS medium enriched with sucrose (1.5%), at 18-20°C independent of light length condition. Key words: moss, Dicranum scoparium, in vitro, axenical culture Received 30 September 2009 Revision accepted 30 November 2009 UDK 582.32.085.2 INTRODUCTION One of the species in high risk of extinction is Dicranum viride (Sull. & Lesq. in Sull.) Lindb. (species of Bryophytes, although the second largest group of terrestrial community interest listed in the Habitat Directive 92/43 plants, received much less attention in conservation EEC under annex II, Bern Convention Species, appendix and protection in comparison to vascular plants and 1). It is ranged in northern hemisphere but rare all over. In higher animals. However, bryophytes are documented to Europe, this species is threatened all over (ECCB 1995).

Department of Rehabilitation of Arid and Mountainous Regions, Natural Resources Faculty, University of Tehran, P. O. Box: 31585-4314, Karaj, Iran Received 22 July 2008; Revised 20 Dec 2008; Accepted 3 Jan 2009 ABSTRACT: Distribution and abundance of plants has been correlated with a variety of complex environmental gradients. Environmental factors affect plants growth and need to be understood by ecosystem managers. This study was carried out to examine the relationships between site factors and different vascular and non-vascular plants in north of Iran. For this purpose, vegetation and soil sampling was performed along 8 transects each with a length of 300 m in key areas of the rangeland. Also, topographic properties including elevation, slope and aspect were recorded in sampling points, too. Using TWINSPAN, classification of the vegetation was performed. After grouping of the species, Multivariate technique of Principal Component Analysis (PCA) was used to analyze the relationships between vegetation and site factors. The results of classification revealed that species are classified to 6 ecological groups. The interesting result was that vascular and non-vascular plants were positioned in approximately separated groups. Also, each group according to the contained species showed different correlation with site factors. Properties of nutrient status, EC, texture and slope aspect were the most important factors that correlated strongly with the distribution of ecological groups in the study area, but the strength and weakness of the correlation was different based on the species of each group. -
