<i>Brachydontium olympicum</i> (E. Britton) T. T. McIntosh & J. R. Spence (Ptychomitriaceae), a newly recorded species for the Korean moss flora

Abstract

While conducting a floristic study of Korean moss, we discovered one unrecorded species collected from Mt. Hallasan in Korea. Brachydontium olympicum (E. Britton) T. T. McIntosh & J. R. Spence is recorded for the first time for Korea. Unlike other species of Brachydontium, this species has no peristome and its distal laminal cells are mostly isodiametric.
