characteristic. These are accompanied by several large acrocarp species such as Bartramia pomiformis, Dicranum mayrii, D. scoparium, Grimmia pilifera, Hedwigia ciliata, Leucobryum glaucum, Polytrichum ohioense, Racomitrium ericoides, R. carinatum, and Trichostomum tenuirostre. A few liverworts are also abundant like Frullania jackii subsp. japonica, F. muscicola, F. tamarisci, Porella grandilob a, P. vernicosa. On bare soil along the tourist paths Dicranella heteromalla, Pogonatum spinulosum, Pohlia proligera moss species, and a few liverworts such as Calypogeia azurea, Cephalozia bicuspidata are the most frequent. The irrigated rocks along the streams are inhabited by several aquatic bryophytes as Brachythecium plumosum, B. rivulare, Chiloscyphuspallescens, Hygrohypnum eugyrium, Marsupella emarginata, Platyhypnidium riparioides, Pseudoleskeopsis zippelii, Scapania undulata. Higher up from the water level Hylocomiopsis ovicarpa, Plagiocbila fruticosa, P. porelloides, Plagiomnium acutum, P. vesicatum are the most important elements. On tree barks Anomodon rugelii, Cyrtohypnum sparsifolium, Entodon flavescens, Fabronia ciliaris, Orthotrichum consobrinum, Rauiellafujisana, Ulota crispa moss species and Frullania species (e.g. F. inflexa, F. schensiana), Lophocolea itoana, Plagiocbila porelloides and Porellagrandiloba liverworts are the most characteristic. Although decaying wood material is rather scarce in these forests, several liverwort species were found on this substrate, e.g. Blepharostoma minus, B. tricbophyllum, Calypogeia azurea, Cephalozia bicuspidata, C. lunulifolia, Jamesoniella autumnalis, Lophocolea heterophylla, L. itoana, Riccardia latifrons. These are accompanied by a number of mosses including Brothera leana, Dicranum mayrii, D. scoparium, Fauriella tenuis, Gollania ruginosa, Herzogiella turfacea, Hypnum fauriei, Tetraphis pellucida, Trichostomum tenuirostre. CONCLUSIONS In addition to several new regional data obtained during this very short field trip in Mt Taebaek, 13 taxa turned out to be first records in the country. These results reflect on the need of continuing bryological investigations in South Korea. Especially the knowledge of the moss flora is far from being complete. The habitats in the mountainous areas still are in
