Contribución a la diversidad de hepáticas neotropicales: nuevos registros para Panamá

Abstract:

Based on floristic and ecological studies of bryophytes from Panama, we report four new species to the country (Cryptomitrium tenerum, Metzgeria mexicana, Radula tectiloba, and Targionia hypophylla), increasing the total species number to 491 species. Metzgeria mexicana is recorded for the first time in Central America, and the collections constitute the first records of the genera Cryptomitrium and Targionia in the country. We give information about ecology, distribution, and a plate of microphotographs of the species.
