RHIZOMNIUM HATTORII (CINCLIDIACEAE, MUSCI) AN ADDITION TO SINO-JAPANESE DISTRIBUTION ELEMENT ON BRYOPHYTES

Abstract

  Rhizomnium hattorii T. J. Kop. was found in Wuyishan National Reserve on Mt. Wuyishan at ca 2000 m. The site is situated in orotemperate deciduous hardwood forest. The collection is composed of male stems and sterile shoots. On the basis of the earlier known distribution in Japan and Korea it is to be expected that R. hattorii may have a wider distribution on the “second step” mountainous areas in Central China, and possibly on the Himalayas.
