ABSTRACT Schistochila gradsteinii Thouvenot sp. nov., is added to the five Schistochila Dumort. species formerly known in New Caledonia. The new species is distinctive by the lack of underleaves, bilobed leaves entire margined, with larger ventral lobes oblong-lanceolate to oblong-ovate, apiculate, dorsal lobes oblong-ovate, inserted on the dorsal surface of ventral lobes, the free margins not reaching the ventral margins, leaf cells with seemingly 3-layered trigones, stems with a conspicuous epidermis. It shares with the endemic S. vitreocincta (Herzog) X.L.He & Glenny some features distinctive from the rest of the genus. In addition, the occurrence of S. vitreocincta is clarified, the gynoecium of S. integerrima Steph. is newly described and a key to the New Caledonian species of Schistochila is provided.

ABSTRACT Recent collections of Heterocladium flaccidum (Schimp.) A.J.E.Sm. in Tunisia and in Georgia (Caucasus) represent the first records of this species both in Africa and Asia. Molecular phylogenetic analysis of samples from France, Great Britain, Tunisia and Georgia placed the species in a maximally supported clade sister to or nested in other species of Heterocladium s.str., i.e., excluding recently segregated Heterocladiella species. This genetic distinction of H. flaccidum from H. heteropterum (Brid.) Schimp., found in separate analyses of ITS and trnS-F markers, strongly supports the specific recognition of H. flaccidum. Representative African and Asian specimens are illustrated and described. Ecological and chorological details are provided.

ABSTRACT The archipelago of Marajó (Pará State, Brazil) in the mouth of the Amazon river is the largest fluvial-marine complex worldwide, comprising about 2500 islands. The aim of this study was to investigate floristic and ecological attributes of the bryophyte flora of two major islands of the archipelago, Caviana and Mexiana, as a contribution to environmental conservation. In total, 572 samples were studied. The bryoflora of Caviana was represented by 89 species (39 mosses, 50 liverworts) and Mexiana by 50 species (28 mosses, 22 liverworts). Together, the two islands harbored 100 species (46 mosses and 54 liverworts). No statistical similarity was observed in the species composition between the two islands and 50 species were exclusive to Caviana while 11 species were only found on Mexiana. The latter island harbored a greater richness of mosses while liverworts were more diverse on Caviana. Epiphyllous bryophytes were exclusively found on Caviana. The floristic differences between the two islands are explained by differences in environmental conditions and vegetation cover. Drepanolejeunea lichenicola (Spruce) Steph., Eulacophyllum cultelliforme (Sull.) W.R.Buck & Ireland and Meteoridium remotifolium (Müll.Hal.) Manuel are new to the state of Pará and 31 species are recorded for the first time from Marajó. RÉSUMÉ Bryophytes des îles Caviana et Mexiana, archipel de Marajó, Brésil.

ABSTRACT Campylopus Brid. is a widely distributed genus with some very generalist species. Morphological differences between non and sex-expressing plants and the frequent occurrence of non-sex-expressing shoots have generated difficulties in the identification of the group. Our main objective was to morphologically compare the gametophytes of two species of Campylopus: Campylopus julaceus A.Jaeger and Campylopus lamellatus Mont. We performed morphometric analyses (based on 21 gametophyte characters), quantified their sexual expressions, and tested the viability of the asexual propagula produced by C. julaceus. Our results indicate that those putative species do not form two mutually exclusive groups. Sexual expression in C. julaceus was significant (84.4%, with 88.2% females and 11.8% males), compared to the low expression of C. lamellatus (5.29%, 55.5% females and 44.5% males). Asexual propagula occurred in both species, but were more frequently expressed in C. julaceus (100% of the samples; C. lamellatus 31%). Those propagula showed 50 to 60% regeneration, forming rhizoids or green protonemata within only two days. Campylopus lamellatus is often encountered sterile, while C. julaceus is apparently only a sexual form. Additionally, as the sexual success of the species can be restricted by the spatial separation of the sexes, asexual propagula should be useful for population maintenance. Finally, we highlight the importance of studies focusing on DNA analyses at the population level and involving specimens collected globally to better understand the delimitation of sympatric species of Campylopus.

ABSTRACT The genus Phaeomegaceros R.J.Duff, J.C.Villarreal, Cargill & Renzaglia (Dendrocerotaceae J.Haseg.), represented by the species P. fimbriatus (Gottsche) R.J.Duff, J.C.Villarreal, Cargill & Renzaglia is recorded for the first time in Mexico, North America, extending its distribution range considerably to the North. Recording distribution ranges could aid to better understand ecological and biogeographical patterns, and detailed population level descriptions of wide-range distributing hornworts could be helpful in determining intraspecific variation, which in turn would aid to define species limits, nowadays poorly understood in Anthocerotophyta Stotler & Crandall-Stotler. Anatomical and morphological characters of collected plants are described in details and illustrations in light microscopy and SEM are provided. P. fimbriatus can be distinguished from other Mexican hornwort species by spore ornamentation, antheridial number per chamber, number of layers of spore tissue in the sporophyte and presence of band-like thickenings in cells of gametophyte thallus. Mexican plants of P. fimbriatus presented smaller spores (28-36 µm in diameter, average 34 µm) than those previously reported (32-43 µm in diameter) for this species, which extends the species variation range of this character and might be pointing out geographical variation.

ABSTRACT After quite a while, since 1950, from recording syncarpy “or double capsules” phenomena, the syncarpy is reported in the current study on a sporophyte of Byum dichotomum Hedw. In addition, we record a deformation case of a lid for one capsule carried by the same species to another individual of B. dichotomum population for the first time worldwide. Byum dichotomum was found growing on moist, shaded inclined land of Al-Shafa road, Taif Province in Saudi Arabia. The syncarpy phenomenon and the appearance of an abnormal lid have been discussed and illustrated. RÉSUMÉ Signalement d'une forme de syncarpie et pour la première fois au monde d'un opercule anormal sur une capsule dans une population de Byum dichotomum Hedw. en Arabie saoudite. Alors que la première syncarpie ou «capsule double» a été signalée dans les années 1950, notre étude décrit ce même phénomène dans le sporophyte de Byum dichotomum Hedw. De plus, pour la première fois dans le monde, nous enregistrons un cas de déformation d'un opercule pour une capsule portée par la même espèce d'un autre individu de la population de B. dichotomum. Byum dichotomum a été trouvé sur des terres inclinées humides et ombragées de la route Al-Shafa, dans la province de Taif en Arabie Saoudite. Le phénomène de syncarpie et l'apparition d'un opercule anormal sont discutés et illustrés.

ABSTRACT The Guadeloupe archipelago has a rich bryophyte flora with 633 species, including 19 species considered endemic to Guadeloupe. Most of the endemic species are only known from type material and are of doubtful taxonomic status. An examination of the types and literature leads to the recognition of three confirmed endemic species in the Guadeloupe archipelago: Frullania trigona L.Clark, Jovet-Ast & Frye, Riccardia innovans (Steph.) Pagán and Trichosteleum glaucinum (Besch.) A.Jaeger. All three are very rare and only known from the type. Field searches to locate further populations were unsuccesful. The remaining “endemic” species are not restricted to Guadeloupe and most of them are synonyms of widely distributed taxa. Nine new synonyms and four new lectotypifications are proposed. The study shows that bryophyte endemism in the Guadeloupe archipelago is 0.5%. The results confirm the notion that endemism in bryophytes is low.

ABSTRACT Among terrestrial plant species, male dwarfism (nannandry) is a unique feature of bryophytes, common in numerous dioicous pleurocarpous mosses. In this study, our objective was to describe and to elucidate the incidence of dwarf males in Portuguese populations of Homalothecium sericeum (Hedw.) Schimp and H. meridionale (M. Fleisch. & Warnst.) Hedenäs. We also evaluated the occurrence of sporophytes and of dwarf males, in 150 selected samples from the LISU herbarium collection. The results showed that most samples are heteromorphic, with sporophytes, and include dwarf males, independent marginal male branches and/or caducous brood branches as vegetative propagules. The samples containing only independent male plants are infrequent. Anisospory was observed in both species, with a perceptible bimodal distribution of spore size in both species. Moreover, in Portugal no differences were found between the two species of this complex concerning the presence and relative position of male plants, the occurrence of anisospory, or the strategies exhibited by male plants, such as nannandry and caducous branches.
