New records of rare and otherwise interesting mosses from The Ussurijsky State Reserve (Primorsky Territory, Russia)

Abstract

Recent field studies in the Ussurijsky State Reserve brought numerous records of very rare species not found in the area before. Oxyrhynchium vagans is found in Russia for the first time. Collection of Ignatovia microphylla, recently described from the Lozovy Range in Primorsky Territory is the second one for this genus. Symblepharis crispifolia was reported previously from Russia, but their check with DNA found that most of records belong in fact to other species, thus the present record is the second for Russia. New locality of Forsstroemia goughiana is the third in Russia, and of Homaliadelphus targionianus fourth for Russia. New records of Miyabea fruticella and recently described Glyphomitrium ambiguum and Pseudohygrohypnum orientale are provided. РезюмеРассмотрены предварительные результаты обработки коллекции мхов из Уссурийского заповедника, собранной в 2022 году в трех основных точках -окрестностях стационаров Комарово-Заповедное, Аникин ключ и Пейшула. На территории заповедника выявлены многие уникальные виды мхов, в частности, Ignatovia microphylla, известная ранее только с хр. Лозовый в Приморском Крае, Forsstroemia goughiana, Miyabea fruticella и Symblepharis crispifolia (ранее известны по единичным находкам в Приморском Крае), занесенные в Красную Книгу РФ Homaliadelphus targionianus и Hyophila involuta, недавно описанные или выявленные в России Glyphomitrium ambiguum, G. crispifolium, Pseudohygrohypnum orientale и мн. др. Oxyrhynchium vagans впервые найден в России.

Bryophyte molecular barcoding records. 8

“…of Primorsky Territory (Kučera et al, 2021) and remained known only from where until the expedition to Ussurijsky Territory brought several additional specimens. Molecular data for one of these specimens, identical to one, published by Kučera et al (2021) arrived too late to be included in the paper, specifically dealing with new and otherwise interesting moss records from that area (Ishchenko et al, 2022), so it is considered here. The species was collected several times in different places on shaded rocks.…”

New data on the genus Oxyrrhynchium (Brachytheciaceae, Bryophyta) in The Russian Far East

“…The recent exploration of the moss flora of Ussurijsky State Nature Reserve in Primorsky Territory revealed O. vagans -the third species of Oxyrrhynchium for the moss flora of Russia (Ishchenko et al, 2022). It is distinguished from O. hians and O. savatieri by having smooth setae.…”
