Erzberger, Peter: Funaria muhlenbergii and Funaria pulchella (Funariaceae, Bryophyta) in Hungary

there is an intrinsic difference in the time schedule of sporophyte development. But research of that kind is beyond the scope of the present study. The habitats of both species in Hungary appear at present not to be threatened by influences of human civilisation. Since, according to the present revision, F. pulchella is not less frequent than F. muhlenbergii, it cannot be considered an endangered species in Hungary any longer. Besides, F. pulchella has been found in five localities recently (PAPP and ERZBERGER 2000, and unpublished collections of the author, see Appendix 1), whereas the latest find of F. muhlenbergii dates back to 1966 (Villány Mts, Vajda). Although this may be due to the fact that bryofloristical research intensity has been rather low in Hungary after the period of Boros and Vajda, the possibility cannot be ruled out that the populations of F. muhlenbergii have decreased within the last decades. Whether this is so, further field work must show. * * * Acknowledgements -1 am grateful to the curator of BP, B. Papp, for the loan of specimens, to H.
