Mosses of Venezuela
(2010)
926 taxa of mosses are listed for Venezuela completed by bibliographical references. Many significant additions have been added or changed from the original document completed in 2007, particularly a complete review of all the bryophytes on the original Venezuela list. This was caused because the TROPICOS group had revised all the existing bryophytes, to bring them up to the most recent views. This may not be popular, but otherwise there is no TROPICOS. This document was originally written 3 years ago, and we now have to familiarise ourselves with the new TROPICOS situation, which will now become the new standard - but with so many changed names, we might have problems in mapping our familiar system to the new one.
The Moss Flora of Mauritius
(2009)
The mosses reported from Mauritius were compiled from the literature and are listed with localities and references. Included are collections by the first author made in 2007 on the island. Barbula indica, Campylopus flavicoma, Racopilum ayresii and Ectropothecium chenagonii, Groutiella tomentosa, Schlotheimia ferruginosa and Trichostomum crispulum are reported as new to Mauritius. The list includes 238 species. A short survey of the bryological exploration of the island is given.
The genus Clastobryophilum M. Fleisch. (Sematophyllaceae, Bryopsida) is reviewed, and two species are maintained: C. bogoricum (Bosch & Sande Lac.) M.Fleisch. and C. balansaeanum (Besch.) Broth. C. rufo-viride (Besch.) M.Fleisch. of Madagascar and Seychelles, the only African species, becomes a synonym of the Asian C. bogoricum, as does C. asperifolium (Thwaites & Mitt.) B.C.Tan of Sri Lanka. Several collections named as Clastobryophilum, including the type of C. bogoricum var. laevibogoricum (Dixon) Seki in Nog., are excluded from the genus.
