TY - JOUR A1 - Ochyra, Ryszard A1 - Kempa, Rafa A1 - Buck, William R. T1 - Plagiothecium lucidum (Hook. f. & Wils.) Paris in tropical Africa T2 - Tropical bryology N2 - Plagiothecium lucidum (Hook. f. & Wils.) Paris is confirmed as a new addition to the bryoflora of tropical Africa on the basis of two collections from the Bale Mountains in Ethiopia. The type material of Isopterygium integrifolium Bartr. from Costa Rica in Central America is evaluated and this species is considered to be conspecific with P. lucidum. As a result of this taxonomic conclusion the range of this species is extended to Costa Rica and this is the first recognition of this species in the Central American isthmus. A world distribution map for this species is presented and some details of African plants and the type of I. integrifolium are illustrated.
