KEYWORDS Methods. A steering group of ten European bryologists was convened, and over the course Bryophytes; mosses; of a year, the spreadsheets were compared with previous European checklists, and all liverworts; hornworts; changes noted. Recent literature was searched extensively. A taxonomic system was Europe; checklist agreed, and the advice and expertise of many European bryologists sought. Key results. A new European checklist of bryophytes, comprising hornworts, liverworts and mosses, is presented. Fifteen new combinations are proposed. Conclusions. This checklist provides a snapshot of the current European bryophyte flora in 2019. It will already be out-of-date on publication, and further research, particularly molecular work, can be expected to result in many more changes over the next few years. Introduction The last published annotated checklist for mosses in of the great amount of new molecular work that Europe was Hill et al.
