Novelties of the Sierra de Gredos bryoflora (Central System, Spain), with special remarks on the autonomous community of Extremadura

Abstract:

This study present new records of bryophytes based on the collections made along the years 2016 and 2017 in both oro and cryoromediterranean bioclimatic subzones of Gredos mountain range, which were scarcely collected. Among the findings, we highlight Douinia ovata, unknown up to date for the Mediterranean Region of Spain, and Sciuro-hypnum reflexum and Tortula hoppeana, both new to the Central System. Also, we highlight the finding of 4 liverworts and 24 mosses news to the Autonomous Community of Extremadura, some of which also unknown either for Gredos mountain range or Ávila or Salamanca provinces. Finally, records of new populations of very rare bryophytes in Gredos or the Iberian Central System are included.
