These samples remained unidentified andthe results of their study are now presented.Biographic notes on Emilio GuinesEmilio Guinea was born in Bilbao (Basque Country,Spain) in May 1907. He obtained his doctorate inNatural Science in the year 1932, at the UniversidadComplutense in Madrid, at that time known asUniversidad Central. He committed to docency,first at a Secondary School and later at theUniversidad Complutense in Madrid.His research was based on Botany, especially onvascular plants and on mycology, but his abun-dant collections included specimens from allbotanical groups. He was Head of the BotanicalSection of the Institute for African Studies (ConsejoSuperior de Investigaciones Científicas), and lateron, Director of the Madrid Royal Botanical Garden.In the forties and fifties, he travelled throughAfrica, mainly Equatorial Guinea, which by thenpossessed the status of Spanish province, and theNorth African deserts.Among his many publications, his geobotanicalessays on Vizcaya and Santander (Spain) and onEquatorial Guinea and the Sahara (Africa) areworth noting.Already retired, he died in October 1985 (Castro-viejo, 1988).Results132A list containing twenty-seven taxa is offered:sixteen hepatics and eleven mosses. Among them,nine are new country records for Equatorial Guinea(marked with an asterisk *) and two, new recordsfor the island of Bioco (marked with +). EmilioGuinea’s localities are listed under each taxon. Allspecimens are lodged in the cryptogamicherbarium of the Madrid Royal Botanical Garden(MA).Hepaticae* Aphanolejeunea truncatifolia Horikawa (=Aphanolejeunea subdiaphana (Jovet-Ast) Pócs).Moka, Las Cascadas, primary forest, MA13201 (together with Plagiochilaintegerrima, Lejeunea acuta, Ectropothe-cium regulare, Eurhynchium cf. spiculosum,Plagiomnium rhynchophorum).Two of the samples (Moka: Las Cascadas,primary forest, MA 13200, MA 13201)contained some branches of this genus. Itwas not possible to identify the material inMA 13200 to the species level due to itsscarcity, but Dr. Tamás Pócs (EsterhazyTeachers’ College, Eger, Hungary) was ableto determine the material in MA 13201 as thisspecies. The synonymy refers to Pócs &Lücking (1996). It represents both a genericand specific addition to the country.+ Bazzania decrescens (Lehm. & Lindenb.)Trevisan ssp. molleri (Steph.) E.W.
