A total of 46 species and two varieties of the traditionally interpreted genus Orthotrichum are currently known to occur in China. They represent five genera, including Orthotrichum (29 species), Lewinskya (14 species and two varieties), and Nyholmiella and Leratia that are represented by a single species each. The fifth genus Florschuetziella, also consisting of only one species, F. scaberrima, is an entirely neglected representative of the China’s moss flora. A list of all accepted taxa is presented and for each taxon all literature records and herbarium specimens are enumerated for provinces in which they have been recorded, and their distribution is mapped. A key to determination of Chinese orthotrichalean mosses is presented. A chronological list of 63 species and varieties and two designations, O. catagonioides and O. microsporum which have never been validly published, reported from China in the years 1892–2020 is presented. Four species, Orthotrichum brasii, O. hooglandii, O. elegans and O. gymnostomum are excluded from the bryoflora of China and Lewinskya affinis var. bohemica and Orthotrichum schimperi are recorded for the first time from this country. Phytogeography of the Chinese taxa of the orthotrichalean mosses is considered and they are grouped into eight phytogeographical elements and five sub-elements.

“…(Pottiaceae), including a new record to China in the alpine grasslands of Tibet. Several new species from genera, including Bryoerythrophyllum [14], Didymodon [15][16][17], and Encalypta [18], are continuing to be described from TP grasslands. However, the bryophyte survey of the Qinghai Plateau has received little attention [19].…”

The species number of bryophytes is the second highest among land plants. Alpine grasslands on the Qinghai–Tibet Plateau (QTP) are the largest among global alpine biomes. However, bryophyte flora in alpine grasslands on the QTP remains poorly explored relative to its large geographic extent. A total of 347 plots were surveyed across the QTP, and 149 bryophyte taxa in 24 families and 49 genera were recorded in alpine grasslands. The largest family was Pottiaceae, followed by Bryaceae and Brachytheciaceae. The most species-rich genus was Bryum, followed by Didymodon and Brachythecium. The dominant species were Didymodon tectorus, Didymodon fallax, Bryum caespiticium, Didymodon constrictus, and Didymodon ditrichoides. The Jaccard similarity indexes of bryophyte compositions between alpine meadow and alpine steppe at the family, genus, and species levels were 0.375, 0.367, and 0.282, respectively. Turf was the most common life-form (75.2%), followed by weft (16.1%) and cushion (5.4%). Endemic species to China accounted for 8.05% of the total taxa. Bryophyte diversity in alpine grasslands on the QTP is exceptional and irreplaceable. The changes in species composition and life-forms between different grassland types reflect the adaptations of bryophytes to harsh environments.
