Erzberger, Peter; Papp, Beáta: Annotated checklist of Hungarian bryophytes

for practical purposes; they may not comply with the rules of the International Code of Botanical Nomenclature (GREUTER et al. 2000), and in some but not all cases this is stated in a note. Annotations highlight nomenclatural, taxonomic or other questions of interest and quote the literature. We treat the three groups of bryophytes: Anthocerotae, Hepaticae and Musci separately. After the main list - i.e. the checklist proper - we have compiled some separate lists. Appendix 1 contains the taxa excluded from the Hungarian flora (7 hep., 39 muse), because some kind of error could be clearly demonstrated. Appendix 2 is a list of doubtful species ( 1 hep., 29 muse.) not included in the main list, because we feel that their inclusion would probably be erroneous, but evidence for this is less clear than for the excluded taxa in App. 1, e.g. doubtful taxa are included here, if no specimen could be located. Taxa in Apps 1 and 2 that appeared in ORBÁN and VAJDA (1983) are marked with an asterisk (3 hep., 16 muse). Appendix 3 contains taxa that are less doubtful, where our reservations do not warrant exclusion from the main list (6 hep., 6 muse). We are confident that a large proportion of these taxa is in fact a member of the Hungarian bryoflora. To facilitate comparison with ORBÁN and VAJDA (1983), in Appendix 4 a list of taxa recorded after 1983 is provided (2 hep., 28 muse). App. 5 is a table of useful synonyms. The decision to place particular taxa in any one of these lists is based on the evidence available at the time of compilation. It is hoped that in a later edition of the checklist these problems will be solved due to progress in herbarium and field research. * * * Acknowledgements - We thank the directors and curators of the following herbaria for the arrangement of loans of specimens: B, EGR, JE, SZO.
