“…From the political and administrative perspective, Eurasia includes Europe and Asia (excl. the Sinai Peninsula, which is usually linked to Africa; being part of Egypt, though geographically it is located in Asia; anyhow Plagiothecium had never been reported from Sinai, see [ 225 ]). The area covered by the present checklist includes 107 countries of Europe and Asia, some well-separated islands, and archipelagos.…”

An annotated checklist of the pleurocarpous moss genus Plagiothecium in Eurasia is presented for the first time based on a thorough review of the literature. Data have been compiled from previous relevant works conducted on the genus over more than 70 years and published up to the end of June 2020 for 107 Eurasian countries (and islands). Sectional classification is based on molecular phylogeny of the genus published recently. A total of 41 taxa are reported, including 29 species and 12 infraspecific taxa (nine varieties and three forms) belonging to eight sections. The highest numbers of taxa were found in China (20 taxa), the Russian Federation (20 taxa) and Japan (18 taxa), while the smallest numbers of taxa were recorded in the Middle East, Central Asia and the islands area. Not a single species of Plagiothecium was recorded in 26 regions, whereas P. denticulatum, P. nemorale and P. cavifolium turned out to be the most widespread species in the entire study area. They were recorded in most of the surveyed countries and islands. For each accepted taxon, information on relevant literature, synonyms, distribution within Eurasia and globally are provided. Comments on each taxon, ecological preferences, and notes on doubtful records are also included. Additionally, distribution maps for each recognised taxon are supplied. This checklist can enlighten and foster a better understanding of the distribution, diversity, and ecology of Plagiothecium in Eurasia and provides an incentive for future research on the genus.

“…Number of moss taxa now from Egypt has been quietly increased in the last decade into 188 taxa belonging to 59 genera, 17 families and 10 orders (El-Saadawi et al, 2013 a,b;Ibrahim et al, 2013;Hassan et al, 2017;El-Sakaty et al, 2018;Khalil and Farag, 2018;Taha, 2020). The distribution of the 188 moss taxa in the 11 surveyed phytogeographical territories of Egypt (out of 13 territories) showed that Southern Sinai, Western Mediterranean Costal Land, Cairo, and Isthmic Desert of Egypt are the richest territories regarding the number of recorded moss taxa (El-Saadawi et al, 2015).…”

Thirty six moss species were recorded from Daqahlia province, Nile Delta. Weissia perligulata Flow. (Pottiaceae) was new record to Afr1. In addition, Hyophila involute (Hook.) Jaeg., (Pottiaceae), Ptychostomum arcticum (R. Brown) J. R. Spence ex Holyoak & N. Pederson and P. cyclophyllum (Schwagr) J. R. Spence (Bryaceae) were new records for Egypt. Fifteen species were new to Nile delta. This raised the number of identified moss taxa recorded from Egypt up to 192 taxa, from Nile delta 51 taxa and Daqahlia province 39 taxa. Data on the up-to-date classification, habitats, voucher specimens and distribution of the enumerated species and the descriptions of the new records including the photos have been provided.

“…In Egypt, Bryaceae includes 28 taxa representing 15% of the Egyptian moss flora (El-Saadawi et al, 2015). In the oasis, Bryaceae includes 15 taxa representing about 47% of the total moss flora (followed by Pottiaceae 11 taxa).…”

T WO species of Bryaceae are recent records for the bryoflora of Egypt from Bahariya Oasis (Western Desert): Bryum klinggraeffi Schimp. and B. valparaisense Thér. In addition, Bryum dichotomum Hedw. is recorded for the first time from the study area. Thus the number of mosses known from Egypt becomes188 and from Bahariya oasis 14. The two recently recorded species are described and illustrated and details are given of the collection sites and habitats. Notes are also given on their wider distributions along with some floristic remarks.
