Mosses from the State of Maine - VI

Abstract

Six mosses, Bryum ambylodon, Calliergon richardsonii, Grimmia hartmanii, G. hermanii, Hygrohypnum subeugyrium, and Orthotrichum pusillum are reported for the first time from the state of Maine. Previous reports of Brynia graminicolor from Cumberland county, Bryum muehlenbeckii from Knox county, Bryum cirrhatum from Oxford county, Climacium americanum from Hancock county, all reports of Dicranum groenlandicum and Trematodon longicollis from Oxford county are based on misdetermined specimens. Many of the collections reported below were obtained on loan from the University of Maine Herbarium (MAINE). This herbarium, though small, has many historical Maine moss collections made by Elmer Drew Merrill, John C. Parlin, Rachel Lowe and Elizabeth Dunham or reported by Parlin (1939) in his work on Maine mosses. The collection is being systematically loaned (one or two families at a time) to me for examination and annotation. Unless otherwise noted all collections cited are deposited at MO. The localities for collections made by B. Allen, which are cited in the list only by collection number, are given below.
