Papp, B.: Contributions to the bryophyte flora of Mt Taebaek, South Korea

2. South Korea, Kang-won-do, Mt Taebaek at Taebaek city, from Dangunseongjon towards Munsubong, 970-1,325 m, N 37° 06' 08.3", E 128° 57' 05.4" and , N 37° 06' 00.0", E 128° 56' 49.6", 14.10.2005. RESULTS AND DISCUSSION Altogether 144 bryophyte taxa (42 liverworts and 102 mosses) were collected during our field trip. The following 13 taxa are recorded for the first time in South Korea. Hundred eight taxa are reported for the first time in Mt Taebaek mountain range. Thirty-six bryophyte taxa, listed in SONG (1999) were also found during our investigation. Species recorded for the first time in the country Hepaticae Conocephalum salebrosum Szweykowski, Buczkowska et Odrzykoski This species has recently been described (SZWEYKOWSKI et al 2005). It is closely related to C. conicum, but on the basis of morphological and anatomical characters it can be safely separated. C. salebrosum has a wider Holarctic distribution, whereas C. conicum is restricted to Europe. Conocephalum conicum is reported from Korea (HONG 2003), but the specimens collected in Mt Taebaek without doubt belong to C. salebrosum. According to the geographical distribution range of the two species, it is supposed that specimens under the name Conocephalum conicum collected in East Asia are mostly C. salebrosum (SZWEYKOWSKI et al 2005). Musci Buxbaumia punctata P.-C. Chen et X.-J. Li - It lives on forest ground and decaying wood. In Mt Taebaek it was found on humus rich soil at 1,300 m altitude. Distribution: it was known as endemic to China (WU and CROSBY 2005). It is recorded for the first time on the Korean Peninsula. Campylium squarrulosum (Besch, et Card.) Kanda - The main habitat of the species is decaying wood; in Mt Taebaek it was found also on bark of tree and on humus covered rocks. Distribution: Japan, Korea, China.
