Bryophytes from some Caatinga areas in the state of Bahia (Brazil)

The caatinga is a deciduous and xerophilous vegetation that covers large areas in Brazil. An irregular rainfall with a marked dry period is a characteristic feature. This paper represents the first contribution to the knowledge of the bryoflora from caatinga vegetation in the State of Bahia. The survey was carried out in several areas from Bahia in which eigthteen species of bryophytes were found (15 mosses and 3 liverworts). The bryoflora from caatinga is composed mainly of generalists and xerophilous taxa, but even some hygrophilous species can be found. A number of species including Hyophiladelphus agrarius, Hyophila involuta, Calymperes palisotii ssp. richardii, Bryum argenteum, Entodontopsis leucostega, Octoblepharum albidum, Frullania ericoides also occur in other vegetation types. However, there are a number of species restricted to this type of vegetation, such as Helicophyllum torquatum and Riccia vitalii, at least in Bahia. Most moss species were acrocarpous with erect and short (short-turf) growth-form, whereas the foliose hepaticae were of incubous, and thallose forms

Variaçoes morfológicas do lóbulo em "lejeunea glaucescens" gott.: lejeuneaceae, hepaticopsida

Variaçoes morfológicas do lóbulo em Lejeunea glaucescens Gott. (Lejeuneaceae, Jung ermnanniophyta). Foram estudados exemplares de Lejeunea glaucescens Gott. no sentido de serem estabelecidos padróes morfológicos objetivando melhor delimitar esse táxon, sendo identificados 10 padróes de variaçáo nos lóbulos dos filídios. Análises desses padróes mostram que n~o há uma clara correlaçáo com as condiçóes ambientais
