NEW RECORDS FOR THE LIVERWORT AND HORNWORT FLORA OF VIETNAM, 4. ‒ COLLECTIONS OF TRẦN NINH IN TAM ĐẢO MOUNTAINS, VIETNAM

Abstract

Professor Trần Ninh in 1967 started to deal with the bryoflora of the Tam Đảo Mountains and published two papers in 1980 and 1981 and a checklist of its mosses in 1993. He collected also liverworts. After the long time elapsed I identified these and wish to publish the results. The material consists of hundred specimens, divided among 35 taxa. It contained Schiffneriolejeunea pulopenangensis as new to Vietnam and also Plagiochila cuspidata, if we consider it as an independent species. Further six became known from Tam Đảo, which were only recently discovered by others in Vietnam (Chiastocaulon dendroides, Frullania motoyana, Lepidozia fauriana, Plagiochila assamica, P. javanica, Radula retroflexa).
