New bryophyte taxa for Bosnia and Herzegovina

Abstract

Bosnia and Herzegovina has a long history of bryophyte flora research. However, it is still considered in-sufficiently investigated, and until recently bryophyte investigations were completely neglected. Hence new records for the country are expected with novel explorations. Here, we report one liverwort (Porella obtusata) and four moss species (Bryum klinggraeffii, Cinclidotus danubicus, Habrodon perpusillus and Imbribryum subapiculatum) new for the country’s bryophyte flora. With these new records, the bryoflora of Bosnia and Herzegovina numbers 673 taxa (no hornworts, 134 liverworts and 539 mosses).
