The moss flora of the state of Coahuila and that in northwestern Mexico is poorly known. Recent exploration in the drylands of Coahuila have yielded findings that bring the number to about 101 species in the state moss flora where the Pottiaceae, Bryaceae, and Grimmiaceae are the families best represented. The lowland moss flora is well represented in the Chihuahuan Desert area in northern Mexico, but also in the southern United States. Species of Crossidium, Pseudocrossidium, and Syntrichia are known desiccation-tolerant mosses; Entodon concinnus and Ephemerum coherens are additions to the moss flora of Mexico.

Treubia insignis, previously known for the Philippines from a single collection obtained in 1913, is rediscovered just over a century later, this time from the southern Philippines. Habitat preference, at least in the southern Philippines, is along riparian corridors of small streams in high-quality montane hardwood tropical rainforests.

Warburgiella spinososeta is described and illustrated as a new moss species and a new genus record from Hawaiʻi. The new species is morphologically similar to W. cupressinoides and W. leptorhynchoides to some extent, but it differs in having entirely smooth, strongly thick-walled, porose laminal cells, a strikingly spinose upper seta, and a campanulate-cucullate calyptra with a papillose apex and an entire base.

Centralization and standardization of biodiversity data increases accessibility and can lead to the development of checklists and other resources as powerful and important tools for taxonomy and conservation. The publication of new liverwort and hornwort names remains vastly scattered across dozens of journals. Thus we continue the longstanding index series of published names of liverworts and hornworts with 2021 and 2022. The list herein includes the following: six higher taxon names, 15 generic names, 81 infrageneric names, 187 specific names, 32 infraspecific names, three infrageneric autonyms and 13 infraspecific autonyms. Among them are 24 names of fossils as well as six illegitimate and 64 invalid names. Six older names omitted in the earlier indices are included.

Acidodontium indicum sp. nov. (Bryaceae), is described and illustrated from the Western Ghats of Kerala. Since the genus has not been reported from India, it represents a new generic record as well. The species is compared with Acidodontium megalocarpum (Hook.) Renauld & Cardot and A. exaltatum (Spruce ex Mitt.) A. Jaeger. Acidodontium indicum is distinguished by small broadly lanceolate to more or less spathulate leaves having a strong, short excurrent costa, margin completely entire, bordered by 1–4 rows of long incrassate cells, short setae, capsule clavate with short apophysis, operculum conic without apiculus and endostome with high basal membrane and forked endostome segments diverging at a different angle.
Acidodontium indicum sp.nov.(Bryaceae)的描述和插图来自喀拉拉邦的西高止山。由于该属从未在印度被报道过,因此它也是一个新的属记录。该物种与 Acidodontium megalocarpum (Hook.) Renauld & Cardot 和 A. exaltatum (Spruce ex Mitt.) A. Jaeger 进行了比较。Acidodontium indicum 的特征是叶片小,宽披针形,或多或少呈匙形,叶缘全缘,边缘有 1-4 排长的瘤状细胞,刚毛短,蒴果棍棒状,有短的骺端,厣圆锥形,无尖,内瓣膜基部高,内瓣分叉,分叉角度不同。

Sciadocladus is a distinctive genus of large dendroid mosses restricted to New Zealand, New Caledonia and the Solomon Islands. Of the two extant species, S. kerrii is endemic to New Zealand, while S. menziesii is found in New Zealand, New Caledonia and the Solomon Islands. Populations of S. menziesii from New Caledonia and the Solomons have been recognised as subspecies splendidum, distinct from the New Zealand populations. Given the geographical isolation of the two subspecies of S. menziesii, we hypothesised that the endemic S. kerrii could have arisen in situ in New Zealand through speciation from S. menziesii subsp. menziesii. This would make these two taxa more closely related to each other than S. menziesii subsp. menziesii is to S. menziesii subsp. splendidum, challenging the species concept of S. menziesii. We tested this hypothesis by conducting a phylogenetic analysis of molecular data from multiple exemplars of Sciadocladus, including material from both New Zealand and New Caledonia. The results show all specimens of S. menziesii strongly supported as monophyletic, sister to a clade comprising S. kerrii specimens, thus rejecting the hypothesis and corroborating the established taxonomy. Implications for interpretation of the phylogeographic history of the genus are discussed.
Sciadocladus是仅限于新西兰、新喀里多尼亚和所罗门群岛生长的一种独特的大型树枝苔藓属。在现存的两个物种中,S. kerrii 是新西兰的特有种,而 S. menziesii 则分布于新西兰、新喀里多尼亚和所罗门群岛。新喀里多尼亚和所罗门群岛的 S. menziesii 种群被认定为绚丽亚种,与新西兰种群不同。 鉴于S. menziesii的两个亚种在地理上的隔离性,我们推测新西兰特有的S. kerrii可能是由S. menziesii亚种在原地变异而来。这将使这两个分类群之间的亲缘关系比S. menziesii亚种与S. menziesii亚种之间的亲缘关系更为密切,从而对S. menziesii的物种概念提出了挑战。我们对来自多个 Sciadocladus 样本(包括新西兰和新喀里多尼亚的材料)的分子数据进行了系统发育分析,从而验证了这一假设。结果表明,S. menziesii的所有标本都被强烈支持为单系,是由S. kerrii标本组成的支系的姐妹群,从而否定了这一假说,并证实了已确立的分类法。讨论了对该属系统地理历史的解释的影响。
