D.Don plantation, and near I Juncus effusus i L., I Osmunda regalis i L. and I Paspalum distichum i L.. other bryophyte species growing in the area include I Hypnum jutlandicum i Holmen & E.Warncke, 39°01'38.88"N, 27°58'23.74"W, ca. 161 m a.s.l.11 August 2021, I leg i . Although records of I S. elegantulum i have constantly accumulated over the last two decades, resulting in nine countries being added to the list of European country records (Hodgetts and Lockhart [25]), Slovakia has remained devoid of confirmed occurrences (Misíková et al. [31]), probably due to the absence of a dedicated search for species of this taxonomically difficult genus I . i We expect that the species is not rare throughout the country due to the abundance of suitable substrates and the pattern of occurrence in neighbouring countries. The present discovery of a patch of roughly 60 m SP 2 sp (9 m × 7 m) of I Sphagnum palustre i on Graciosa Island adds a new habitat to the island, and since all species of I Sphagnum i have been protected by regional law since 2012 (DLR n.° 15/2012/A of 2 SP nd sp of April), the bog on the bottom of the Caldera will be an additional asset to Graciosa.
