Spence, Schistidium flaccidum (De Notaris) Ochyra, Tortella alpicola Dixon, Trichodon cylindricus (Hedwig) Schimper, and Trichostomum brachydontium Bruch were documented as new for California. Four species, Acaulon mediterraneum Limpricht, Funaria convexa Spruce, Gymnostomum viridulum Bridel and Schistidium echinatum Ignatova & H.H. Blom, were documented as new records for the North American moss flora.
