NEW RECORDS AND NOTES ON BRAZILIAN BRYOPHYTES

Abstract

  Six hepatics, Aphanolejeunea paucifolia (Spruce) Reiner, Harpalejeunea heterodonta Evs., Lophocolea heterophylla (Schrad.) Dum., Mytilopsis albifrons Spruce, Symphyogyna circinata Nees & Mont. and Trocholejeunea bahamensis (Evs.) Schust., and six mosses, Aongstroemia julacea (Hook.) Mitt., A. longipes (Somerf.) B. S. G., Barbula afrofontana (C. Müll.) Broth., Dicranella standleyi Bartr., Lepidopilum cubense (Sull.) Mitt. and Streptopogon cavifolius Mitt. are new records for Brazil. Three mosses are new records for different states of Brazil: Donnellia commutata (C. Müll.) Buck for Rio Grande do Sul, Fissidens amoenus C. Müll. for São Paulo, and Paranapiacabaea paulista Buck & Vital for Paraná. The hepatic, Strepsilejeunea apicidens Herz. (in schedula) and the mosses Hemiragis aurea (Brid.) Kindb. and Pterogoniopsis cylindrica C. Müll. were never identified for Brazil. They are misidentifications of already known Brazilian species. Lindbergia patentifolia Dix from São Paulo State is also a misidentification of our very common moss Haplocladium microphyllum (Hedw.) Broth.
