Pohlia proligera (Kindb.) Lindb. ex Arn. - It is reported from North Korea (HOANG 1991 ). It can be distinguished from the other Pohlia species by bearing numerous slender, fusiform gemmae on the upper parts of the shoots. Densely foliated glossy plant (NOGUCHI 1988, DEMARET and ARTS 1993). This species occurs on soil along roadsides, forest ground; in Mt Taebaek it was found on soil along the tourist path. Distribution: widely distributed in the northern hemisphere (NOGUCHI 1988). It is recorded for the first time in South Korea. Polytrichastrum ohioense (Ren. et Card.) G. L. Smith - It is reported from North Korea (KIM et ah 1995). It occurs on soil along roadsides, forest ground; in Mt Taebaek it was collected from humus covered rocks. Distribution: Japan, China, North America (Wu and CROSBY 2005). It is reported for the first time from South Korea. Pylaisiella polyantha (Hedw.) Grout - It is known from North Korea (HOANG 1991). It grows on various substrates as on bark of trees, rotten logs, rarely on rocks or humus; in Mt Taebaek it was collected from bark of a tree. Distribution: Japan, Korea, China, Mongolia, Russia, Europe, Africa, North America (Wu and CROSBY 2005). According to WU and CROSBY (2005) it is known from Korea, which probably refers the North Korean occurrence, but not mentioned in CHOE and CHOI (1980). It is reported for the first time in South Korea. Warnstorfia exannulata (Schimp.) Loeske - It lives on damp soil at streams, in bogs; in Mt Taebaek it was collected along a stream. Distribution: Japan, northern Asia, Europe, Greenland, North America (NOGUCHI 1991). It is reported for the first time on the Korean Peninsula. List of taxa collected The species name is followed by the locality numbers and the substrates. The species new to the region (Mt Taebaek), not mentioned in the work of SONG (1999) about the terricolous bryophyte flora of the forests in the Taebaek mountain range, are marked by asterisk.
