Preliminary Study on the Bryoflora of Shenyang City in Liaoning Province

143 species and varieties in 67 genera and 30 families of bryophytes are reported based on specimens from Shenyang City,Liaoning Province,China.Among them,36 species are new to Liaoning Province and 18 to Northeast of China.Floristic analysis shows that North temperate elements take up the majority,approximating to 51.16%,and followed by East Asian elements and Endemic to Chinese elements,accounting for 16.28% and 12.40%,respectively.The bryoflora obviously shows the temperate characters are similar to the flora of seed plants,locations and weather conditions.Coefficient of similarity at generic and specific level between Shenyang City and other cities or regions is calculated for the comparison of similarities between different floras.The result shows that the bryoflora of Shenyang City is close to those of Fushun and Anshan City,and far from bryofloras in other cities or regions.
