New Record of Bryum Hedw. in Xinjiang

Using classical taxonomic method,we identified the species of mosses collected from different regions of Xinjiang. The results showed that Bryum apiculatum Schwaegr. and Bryum paradoxum Schwaegr. were newly recorded species in Xinjiang. Although Bryum algovicum Sendt. ex C. Mull. and Bryum atrovirens Brid. were recorded in the Flora Bryophytorum Sinicorum,we did not put them in the Checklist of Mosses in Xinjiang,because of lacking the existing specimens. In this study,two Bryum species were confirmed to be distributed in Xinjiang. The taxonomic features and geographical distribution of these species are identified and the graphics of 3 species are made. The specimens are deposited in the herbarium of Xinjiang University( XJU).
