A first insight into the bryophyte flora of the Mashpi Ecologica Reserve, Pichincha, Ecuador - Notes on the bryophytes of Ecuador V. Nova Hedwigia. & Ilk.-Borges from Colombia has pointed leaf lobes and is also very similar to I R. flagelliformis i , but the latter differs by the absence of ocelli in underleaves, flagelliform branches with squarrose underleaves (flat and appressed to stem in I R. halinae i ) and mostly rounded leaf tips (Gradstein and Ilkiu-Borges [31]). However, the following combination of characters allows an unambiguous identification with this species: the presence of a well-delimited vitta in the leaf lobe, the dorsally unipapillose leaf lobe cells (including the vitta cells), the broadly rounded leaf apex, the irregularly denticulate to dentate leaf margin and the unipapillose cells of the lower half of the lobule (Ilkiu-Borges et al. [41]). However, it can be recognised as a moss by its asymmetrical and dimorphic leaves, which are separately arranged along the stem, pluripapillose leaf cells with 3 to 5 papillae per cell, and true moss sporophyte. I Solmsiella biseriata i is a small moss that may be confused with a liverwort owing to its complanate dimorphic leaves in 4 rows. [Extracted from the article]

Additions and corrections to the bryophyte flora of Ghana, including a new species of Cololejeunea (Spruce) Schiffn. The species was recorded during exploration of the North Macedonian bryophyte flora in the Jablanica Mountains (western North Macedonia, near to the border with Albania) a few miles within the montane belt. The work Rayna Natcheva was partly supported by the Bulgarian National Science Fund, project "Cryptic species in Bulgarian flora - molecular species delimitation in the I Aneura pinguis i complex". A first insight into the bryophyte flora of the Mashpi Ecological Reserve, Pichincha, Ecuador - Notes on the bryophytes of Ecuador V. Nova Hedwigia 111 (1/2): 59 - 76. 14 Câmara PE, Carvalho-Silva M. 2020. Periodically inundated shores of dams are an underexplored habitat for bryophytes in Bulgaria that have proved to harbour a number of previously unrecorded species. [Extracted from the article]

As is the case with some Holarctic species (e.g. Bizot and Pócs [19]; Ochyra and Pócs [116]; Ochyra et al. [120]; Blockeel et al. [22]), it occurs on remote altimontane outposts in tropical mountains, and the Bale Mountains in south-eastern Ethiopia are a well known home for Holarctic species in sub-Saharan Africa (e.g. Koponen [80]; Ochyra and Bednarek-Ochyra [107], [108]; Ellis, Asthana, et al. [41]). Thus, phytogeographically, I D. ditrichoideum i is an amphiatlantic south-cool-temperate species weakly penetrating to the northern maritime Antarctic and it shares this type of distribution with a number of austral cool-adapted bryophyte species (e.g. Ochyra [104], [106]; Li et al. [89]; Bednarek-Ochyra and Ochyra [11], [12], [13]; Ellis, Bakalin, et al. [42]; Ellis, Bednarek-Ochyra, et al. [44]; Ochyra and Bednarek-Ochyra [109]; Ochyra and van Rooy [118]; Ochyra et al. [112]; Saluga et al. [143]). Some 11 species have been reported from Kyrgyzstan (Ignatov et al. [69]; Ellis, Aleffi, Tacchi, et al. [37]; Ellis, Aleffi, et al. [36]; Ellis, Asthana, et al. [40]) and Kazakhstan (Ignatov et al. [69]; Ellis, Afonina, Andriamiarisoa, et al. [30]; Ellis, Amélio, et al. [39]), 10 from Iran and Tajikistan (Ignatov et al. [69]; Ellis et al. [33]; Ellis et al. [38]) and 8 from Afghanistan (Kürschner and Frey [82]). Link, I C. fuscus i L., I C. glomeratus i L., I Gnaphalium uliginosum i L., I Gypsophila muralis i L., I Lindernia dubia i (L.)

The article offers information on different plant species including Aneura pseudopinguis, Barbilophozia atlantica and Bryum calophyllum. It discusses the discovery and origin of these genera. It states that Aneura pseudopinguis was known from scattered African countries. It relates that Barbilophozia atlantica was first recorded in Bulgaria and on the Balkan Peninsula. Confirms its presence in Italy, Bryum calophyllum was declared endangered in Great Britain and very rare in Estonia.

The article offers information on several bryophytes. Among the bryophytes cited include Calypogeiaceae liverwort Calypogeia sphagnicola in Croatia, subarctic-alpine species Barbilophozia binsteadii in Slovakia, and amphiatlantic southcool- temperate species Bucklandiella striatipila in Gough Island, Tristan da Cunha. Furthermore, information regarding their distribution and contributors are offered.

The article offers information on several records on bryophytes. It states that Andreaea flabellate is a pan-south-temperate plant species that occurs in southern South America, in New Zealand and in south-eastern Australia, and it grows on rocks particularly in vegetation with moss balls in Prince Edward Islands. Furthermore, Andreaea gainii is a species which is considered as Antartic endemic and an amphipacific subantartic-Antarctic species that lives in the maritime Antarctic.
