New national and regional bryophyte records, 42

“…In addition, some incidental moss records were published by Reichardt (1871) andPotier de la Varde (1949). Recently, two new species of Sphagnum were described (Flatberg et al, 2011) and three more species were added to the island's moss flora (Blockeel et al, 2009a;Ellis et al, 2012c) and a fourth is reported here. Yet, the actual number of moss species occurring on Île Amsterdam is unknown, as only a few species recorded from the island have been studied taxonomically (Frahm, 1985;Hyvö nen, 1991) and the status of some species described from the island is uncertain.…”

“…(Vitt, 1995), Guembelia wilsonii (Greven) Ochyra & Ż arnowiec (Greven, 1998), and Fallaciella robusta Tangney & Fife (Tangney & Fife, 2003). It has been recorded in the Canterbury and Otago regions in the central and south parts of the South Island (Bednarek- Ochyra & Ochyra, 1996;Fife, 2000) and was only recently discovered in the Tasman region in the northernmost part of this island (Ellis et al, 2014d). The species occurs from near sea level to 1330 m a.s.l.…”

“…(Ochyra et al, 2003). These studies have resulted in the discovery of some new species (Bednarek-Ochyra & Ochyra, 1996, 2011Bednarek-Ochyra et al, 2014), resurrection of some species from oblivion (Ellis et al, 2011;Bednarek-Ochyra, 2014) and new records of species previously known from elsewhere (Blockeel et al, 2008a;Ellis et al, 2014a, b). All of the species of Bucklandiella are known to occur on the South Island, while only four of them have so far been recorded in the North Island, including B. ptychophyllum (Mitt.)…”

“…Bucklandiella pachydictyon is an amphiatlantic south-cool-temperate species. It has its main centre of occurrence in southern South America, ranging from the Neuquén Province of Argentina and Cautin Province of Chile to Tierra del Fuego and extending to subantarctic South Georgia (Bell, 1974) and the northern maritime Antarctic, where it occurs in geothermal areas on the volcanic Deception Island (Ochyra et al, 2008a,b;Ellis et al, 2013a). It then reappears at highly disjunct stations in the subantarctic Prince Edward Islands and Îles Crozet (Blockeel et al, 2008a) and in Îles Kerguelen (Cardot, 1916).…”

Plagiothecium latebricola, a new member of the Hungarian bryoflora

“…Lindb. was found new to the Hungarian bryofl ora (Mesterházy et al 2017). During the following weeks, Kornél Baráth paid several more visits to this area, upon which he found another novelty for Hungary, Heterocladium heteropterum (Brid.)…”
