A NEWLY UPDATED AND ANNOTATED CHECKLIST OF CHINESE MOSSES

Abstract

  The newly updated and annotated checklist includes all published names of Chinese mosses and their provincial records up to 1994. A total of 4,832 specific and subspecific names are included. Of these, 2,457 are taxonomically accepted taxa. One new name, Brachythecium propinnatum, and two new combinations, Pylaisiella curviramea (Dix.) comb. nov. and Pylaisiella subimbricata (Broth. & Par.) comb. nov., are proposed.
