New national and regional bryophyte records, 31

“…The moss flora of Îles Kerguelen is the richest of all subantarctic islands and until recently, it consisted of about 125 species. However, recent exploration of the archipelago yielded a number of phytogeographically and taxonomically important new records of moss (Blockeel et al, 2009a(Blockeel et al, , b, 2010Ochyra, 2010;Ellis et al, 2010Ellis et al, , 2011Ellis et al, , 2012. Thus, considering the present record and all recent additions, the moss flora of this archipelago consists of approximately 135 species and it exceeds by about 15 species that of South Georgia which has the second richest moss flora in the subantarctic region.…”

Updates on the bryophyte flora of the lowland woods and temporary ponds west of Lake Trasimeno (Central Italy)

“…2009), Corsica (Cogoni & al. 2009), and Spain (Ellis & al. 2013), showing a remarkable enlarging of its distribution area.…”

“…Bryological data from the wide area surrounding the study site date back to several decades ago (Cortini Pedrotti 1985;Aleffi 1992), except for a recent survey by Poponessi & al. (2014a) and Ellis & al. (2015).…”

A major range extension of Blindia robusta (Seligeriaceae, Bryophyta)

“…In the Australasian sector it is represented by three species on subantarctic Macquarie Island (Seppelt 2004) and five on the Auckland and Campbell Islands in the south-cool-temperate zone (Vitt 1974(Vitt , 1979Ochyra and Lewis Smith 1998). In contrast, four species of Ditrichum have been recorded from subantarctic South Georgia (Ochyra et al 2002) but, surprisingly, the genus exhibits the greatest diversity in the maritime Antarctic where six species have so far been discovered (Ochyra 1999;Ochyra et al 2008a, b;Ellis et al 2013). Finally, in the subantarctic Kerguelen biogeographical province six species are known to occur Ellis et al 2014).…”
