On decaying log beside trailto summit, 3416m, 10 February 1997, Porley684a. This would appear to be the first recordfor Uganda, the only other report for Africa beingfrom Rwenzori, Zaire (Mildbraed, 1914). Inaddition, there are two Rwenzori collections inBM: 1. ‘Ridge between Butawa and Kamusosorivers, July 1932, alt. 12,500 ft. Leg. G. N.Humphries 1203. Covers rocks where ground isvery wet. Det. H. N. Dixon’. From the detailsgiven it is not certain whether the provenance isZaire or Uganda as the border goes through thisarea. 2. ‘Mot. Rwenzori, 10,000 ft., August 1938,leg. J. W. Purseglove P249’. An annotation by‘C.V.B.M., 4.i.1939’ suggests that this specimenmay be a variety of Splachnum ampullaceumHedw., which he (?) regards as a widespread,extremely variable species; he had not examinedthe Brotherus type specimen. The locality detailsare insufficient to allocate this record to eitherUganda or Zaire.Although not noted in the field, it is possible thatthe present record of Splachnum adolphi-friede-rici was actually growing on animal dung, ratherthan directly on the decaying log.Acknowledgements Jens Eggers wishes to thank T.Pócs (Eger) fordetermination or confirmation of specimens.ReferencesDauphin, G., Gradstein, S.R., Bernecker-Lücking,A. & Morales, M.I. 1998.
