A revision of Grimmia (Musci, Grimmiaceae) in the Americas. 1: Latin America

Abstract:

Grimmia comprises 29 (plus 2 probable) species in Latin America. The centers of highest species diversity are the Mexican Volcanic Belt and the Andean Range between central Peru and southern Patagonia. All taxa are keyed and described, and they are typified if it has not been done previously. Each species is illustrated and its distribution mapped. Grimmia molesta is described as new from Peru. Previous records of G. tergestina from Mexico correspond to G. involucrata. Grimmia kidderi, G. ochyriana, and G. tergestina are reported for the first time from the Americas.
