ANNOTATED CHECKLIST OF HUNGARIAN BRYOPHYTES

Abstract

The checklist presented below contains 629 bryophyte taxa in 199 genera, 2 species of hornworts in 2 genera, 141 species and 2 additional subspecies of liverworts in 50 genera and 483 species and 1 additional subspecies of mosses in 147 genera. It is the first inventory of Hungarian bryophytes in twenty years. Not all problems resulting from changes in taxonomy could be resolved yet, but the fields where further research is necessary are pointed out. Separate lists of excluded (46), doubtful (42) and recently added taxa (30) are provided. The annotations comment on taxonomic and nomenclatural changes, quote specimen details or contain otherwise relevant information.
