“…comm.). A. dentatum was identified as growing on tree fern trunks in the RBGE Fern House in 1992 (Rumsey, 2001) and in this survey a very small population was found growing in a crevice between rocks. It was also found growing in the Temperate Glasshouse at RBGE in a small 'cave' constructed from old tree fern trunks, built to provide a microhabitat for filmy ferns.…”

“…It was identified under the name Pterygophyllum dentatum at the Kibble Palace in 1928, at the same time as Hypopterygium tamarisci was described (Dixon, 1928). It has been found growing outdoors in Cornwall with introduced filmy ferns (Rumsey, 2001), and in glasshouses at the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew (Neil Bell, pers. comm.).…”

“…Achrophyllum dentatum is dioecious and sporophytes have not been seen on UK populations. Therefore, asexual reproduction by gemmae is the sole method of dispersal (Rumsey, 2001). These reproductive constraints, coupled with the evident requirements for constant high humidity, indicate that the cultivation and display potential for this species is extremely limited.…”

This paper is derived from a research project produced during the author’s studies for a BSc in Horticulture with Plantsmanship at the Royal Botanic Garden Edinburgh (RBGE). The body of work represents findings from a floristic survey of naturally occurring bryophytes in the Ferns and Fossils House at RBGE. This site merited close study due to the known presence of at least two southern hemisphere species along with many native species. Horticultural staff were interviewed about current bryophyte management within glasshouse displays. Recommendations are made for raising the status of bryophytes in botanic gardens and expanding the scope of living collections. This report includes an introduction, literature review, methodology, survey results, interview summary and conclusion.

Molecular identity ofHypopterygiumpopulations (Hypopterygiaceae: Bryopsida) from three European botanical gardens

Systematic and biogeographic relationships of Hypopterygium populations from three European localities (glasshouses of the botanical gardens of Glasgow and Berlin, Bussaco arboretum in Portugal) are evaluated based on DNA sequences and AFLP fingerprinting. Maximum parsimony analyses based on combined plastid trnL intron and nuclear ribosomal ITS2 sequences confirm that all three populations belong to the widespread, mainly pantropical and warm-temperate H. tamarisci. Neighbour joining analyses based on AFLP banding patterns from four primer combinations indicate a close relationship with the Australasian variant of H. tamarisci and an Australian or New Zealand origin of the populations. At least two independent introduction events from the Australasian region are indicated, one concerning the closely related specimens from Glasgow and Berlin, and the other the Portuguese specimen, the latter probably originating from southern New South Wales.
