Tsakiri, E., Papp, Beáta; Szurdoki, Erzsébet: New records on the bryophytes of Mt Voras, North Greece

RESULTS AND DISCUSSION Seventeen taxa of mosses were identified, among which there are three new records for the bryophyte flora of Greece: Ditrichum pusillum (Hedw.) Hampe, Polytrichum commune var. perigoniale (Michx.) Hampe, Sphagnum angustifolium (C. Jens, ex Russ.) C. Jens (Table 1). All of the collected records belong to the North-Central (NC) floristical area of Greece. Bryum schlecheri DC, a boreal-montane species, was previously collected only by UNGER (1862) and SCHIFFNER (1915), only from island areas (Crete and Euboea correspondingly). For this species, it is the first collection from mainland Greece. Also Palustriella deeipiens (De Not.) Ochyra, a subarctic-subalpine species, was previously collected only by COPPEY (1908) from the Pindos (PI) area. According to DULL (1995), both species required verification. For the North-CenFig. 1. North Greece and the location of the collection sites at Mt Voras (Pella Prefecture, Greece). Altitudinal lines are at 500 (pale grayish), 1,000, 1,500 and 2,000 m a.s.l. (black). The asterisks (*) indicate the sites of collection (and the location of Mt Voras in the map of Greece).
