“…The occurrence of this species in the Mascarenes completes its palaeotropical/palaeosubtropical range in Asia, including the Sino-Himalayan region, South India, Sri Lanka, Taiwan, the Philippines, and Malesia (Frisvoll, 1988) and sub-Saharan Africa (Ochyra, 1993;Bednarek-Ochyra & Ochyra, 2013). Additionally, it occurs in the neotropical mountains in Central America (Frisvoll, 1988) and South America (Bednarek-Ochyra et al, 1999;Bednarek-Ochyra & Ochyra, 2012;Blockeel et al, 2002Blockeel et al, , 2010, occasionally extending to the northern maritime Antarctic where it occurs on heated ground on the volcanic Deception Island in the South Shetland Islands archipelago (Ochyra et al, 2008a,b;Ellis et al, 2013a Îles Crozet is the most extensive archipelago in the Subantarctic which consists of five main volcanic islands stretching about 80 km in a west-east direction. The islands are divided into two groups: a western group of Île aux Cochons, Île des Pingouins, and Îlots des Apô tres and an eastern group comprising Île de la Possession and Île de l'Est, the two largest islands of the archipelago.…”

Based on a thorough review of the literature as well as floristic surveys undertaken over 20 years, a checklist of the bryophytes of Corsica, a mountainous western Mediterranean island, is presented. The occurrence of 17 liverwort and 44 moss species is documented for the first time from Corsica. As a result, the Corsican bryoflora includes 540 species: 148 liverworts, three hornworts and 389 mosses. Among the species reported, seven liverwort and 17 moss species are red-listed in Europe. By contrast with angiosperms, no bryophyte is endemic to the island based on traditional, phenetic species concepts. The number of new species reported here indicates that Corsica is exceedingly under-recorded bryologically. A better knowledge of the distribution, frequency and ecology of bryophyte species on the island is thus an absolute prerequisite in order to propose appropriate conservation measures in this Mediterranean environment that is, at least locally, severely threatened.KEYWORDS: Corsica, bryoflora, Mediterranean, island endemism. STUDY AREACorsica is a Mediterranean island of 8743 km 2 lying between 40u019 and 41u209 N and between 8u389 and 9u349E. It comprises two French departments, namely Corse-du-Sud (2A) and Haute-Corse (2B), both of which are included within UTM 32T. Corsica has been separated from the European continent, currently distant by 82 km, for at least 4 My. With an average elevation of 568 m, it is the most mountainous of the western Mediterranean islands.Geologically, Corsica comprises two contrasting rock formations that include acid rocks such as granites, rhyolites and gneiss in the western part of the island and more base rich alpine rocks (mica-schist, schist with gabbro and serpentine intrusions) in the east.

“…It is a distinct, though variable, species, that is most likely to be confused with B. lamprocarpa (Mü ll.Hal.) Bednarek-Ochyra & Ochyra, which is a pan-holantarctic species, distributed on some subantarctic islands, including Îles Kerguelen (Bednarek- Ochyra & Ochyra, 1998), Heard Island (Ellis et al, 2010), Marion Island (Ellis et al, 2011), and Macquarie Island (Blockeel et al, 2007), extending to South America (Bednarek- Ochyra et al, 1996;Blockeel et al, 2002Blockeel et al, , 2009) and Africa (Ochyra et al, 1988;Bednarek-Ochyra & Ochyra, 2012b;Ochyra & van Rooy, 2013). These species share a similar overall appearance and have similar ecological preferences, but B. lamprocarpa differs from B. orthotrichacea in its entirely smooth laminal cells and lack of a basal marginal border.…”
