Contribuições À Brioflora Do Estado Do Ceará, Brasil

Abstract

The present paper presents new records of bryophytes for the state of Ceará. The sampling was carried out in three areas of mountain forest of the state: Serra da Ibiapaba, Serra da Meruoca and Serra de Uruburetama. The analysis, identification and conservation of the samples were made in the biodiversity laboratory and deposited in the Herbarium HUESPI, Universidade Estdual do Piauí, Campus Heróis do Jenipapo. Six new occurrences were listed for the state of Ceará, being Zelometeorium ambigum (Hornsch.) Manuel. new occurrence for the Northeast and Groutiella chimboranzensis (Spruce ex Mitt.) Florsch. cited before only for the state of Pará. The results demonstrate the significant bryophyte richness in the state, showing the need for continuity of studies on the region.

New occurrences of bryophytes species in Southern Brazil: bryodiversity still scarcely known

“…Currently, 1,337 species of bryophytes are known to occur in the Atlantic Forest (Costa and Peralta 2015). Nevertheless, new occurrences of bryophytes and even new species are constantly recorded (Bastos 2011;Souza et al 2017;Santos et al 2018;Abreu and Oliveira 2019;Amélio et al 2019).…”
