New records of threatened or rare saxicolous bryophytes in the NW mountains of Portugal

Abstract

New information on saxicolous bryophyte distribution in the NW mountains of Portugal is presented as it was considered relevant for the re-evaluation of their conservation status in Portugal and Europe. New localities of three taxa corresponding to old collections in Portugal, as well as new reports of three saxicolous bryophyte species previously considered rare in Portugal (Sérgio et al., 1994) are presented. Additionally, new localities of two threatened bryophytes in Europe (ECCB, 1995) are reported
