Németh, C., Eckstein, J. & Stöckli, E. 2017. New European occurrences of Neottiella ricciae, a bryophilous ascomycete. — Herzogia 30: 353–361.

Neottiella ricciae is a bryophilous ascomycete that has been so far observed altogether in fifteen localities worldwide. Twelve of them are situated on the European continent and three of them can be found on the Canary Islands, in India and in the U.S.A. Four collections from Hungary, Germany and Switzerland are described and illustrated in detail, and each represents the first records for the respective country. The host bryophytes were found to be Riccia glauca and R. sorocarpa. A map is provided summarising the known worldwide distribution of N. ricciae.

Bednarek-Ochyra, H. & Ochyra, R. 2017. A nomenclatural rectification in the widespread East Asian species of Dilutineuron (Bryophyta, Grimmiaceae). — Herzogia 30: 362–369.

A taxonomic and nomenclatural history of the two East Asian species, Dilutineuron anomodontoides and Racomitrium canaliculatum, is presented. The name of the latter species was validly published in 1905 and it antedates by three years the name of the former species which was validly published in 1908. Accordingly, a new combination, Dilutineuron canaliculatum, is proposed and this is the correct name for the widely distributed East Asian species known until now as D. anomodontoides. Racomitrium anomodontoides, R. bandaiense, R. bandaiense var. ramosum, R. fasciculare var. brachyphyllum, R. fasciculare var. erosum, R. fasciculare var. perrobustum, R. formosicum, R. nipponicum, and R. yakushimense are considered to be new synonyms of Dilutineuron canaliculatum. Racomitrium hedwigioides is an illegitimate name because it applied to the species including the type of the earlier name R. canaliculatum which was considered as R. hedwigioides var. canaliculatum.

Kalníková, V., Palpurina, S., Peterka, T., Kubešová, S., Plesková, Z. & Sabovljević, M. 2017. Bryophytes on river gravel bars in the Balkan mountains: new records and insights into ecology. — Herzogia 30: 370 –386.

Gravel bars are a heterogeneous habitat on the border between the aquatic and terrestrial environments that can maintain a high diversity of bryophyte species. However, the bryoflora of river gravel bar habitats has rarely been explored, particularly in Southeastern Europe. We therefore carried out a two-year field survey on river gravel bars in selected mountains and foothills in the Balkan Peninsula, recording all bryophytes in 4×4 or 3×5 m plots. In total, we sampled 59 vegetation plots on 30 streams and rivers and recorded 85 bryophyte taxa. Here we report Bryum klinggraeffii (a new species for the floras of Albania, Montenegro and Serbia) and five data-deficient or vulnerable species. We found several drought-tolerant bryophytes on gravel bars, e.g. Barbula convoluta, Ceratodon purpureus and Tortella tortuosa, as well as typical hygrophilous species, e.g. Cinclidotus aquaticus, Fontinalis antipyretica and Platyhypnidium riparioides. The most common species in this transitional habitat were Brachythecium rivulare, Bryum argenteum, Oxyrrhynchium hians, Barbula unguiculata, Ceratodon purpureus and Bryum caespiticium. Dentrended correspondence analysis ordination technique identified the complex gradient of moisture and light conditions as the main environmental factor for bryophyte communities on the studied gravel bars.

Müller, F. 2017. Didymodon sicculus und Tortula pallida neu für die Flora von Deutschland von Binnensalzstellen in Ostdeutschland. — Herzogia 30: 387–396.

Didymodon sicculus wird als neu für die Flora von Deutschland von Binnensalzstellen in Thüringen, Sachsen-Anhalt und Brandenburg gemeldet. Die Art wurde an einer Fundstelle auch mit Sporophyten festgestellt und die Sporophytenmerkmale werden beschrieben. Tortula pallida wurde rezent an zwei Binnensalzstellen in Thüringen erstmals sicher für Deutschland nachgewiesen. Belege von früheren Funden von Bad Salzungen in Thüringen, die vormals als Tortula viridifolia oder allgemein in die Verwandtschaft von Tortula caucasica gehörig angesehen wurden, wurden revidiert und können ebenfalls Tortula pallida zugeordnet werden. Die diagnostisch wichtigen Merkmale beider Arten werden beschrieben, diskutiert und abgebildet. Didymodon erosus wird erstmals aus Sachsen angegeben.

Simmel, J. & Poschlod, P. 2017. Beiträge zur Bestimmung und Ökologie der mitteleuropäischen Leucobryum-Taxa. — Herzogia 30: 397–411.

Leucobryum juniperoideum wird anhand eigener Funde und Literaturdaten hinsichtlich seiner morphologischen und ökologischen Merkmale charakterisiert. Die in der gängigen Bestimmungsliteratur verwendeten Trennmerkmale gegen andere Leucobryum-Taxa werden nach ihrer tatsächlichen Eignung für deren Unterscheidung eingestuft. Sporophyt, Lamina, Hyalozyten und Färbung der Polster bieten gute Bestimmungsmerkmale. Zusätzlich wird die Substratwahl von L. juniperoideum diskutiert. Leucobryum glaucum inkl. zweier kleinblättriger Formen, L. juniperoideum und L. albidum werden vergleichend beschrieben und es werden Bestimmungsschlüssel gegeben.

Bednarek-Ochyra, H. & Plášek, V. 2017. Occurrence of Racomitrium pruinosum (Grimmiaceae, Bryophyta) in New Guinea, with a review of Gondwanan mosses in the tropics. — Herzogia 30: 412–426.

Occurrence of Racomitrium pruinosum, an austral temperate amphipacific species, in the tropics is confirmed. The species was collected at altimontane elevations of 4270–4400 m a.s.l. in the alpine zone on Mount Wilhelm and Mount Giluwe in the Bismarck Range in Papua New Guinea. The diagnostic characters that distinguish it from the similar R. lanuginosum are discussed and illustrated and its global distribution is reviewed and mapped. Southern cool-adapted moss species penetrating into the tropical mountains are briefly considered.

Holien, H. & Tønsberg, T. 2017. Cliostomum piceicola, a new lichen species from oldgrowth coniferous forests in northern Europe. — Herzogia 30: 427–430.

Cliostomum piceicola is described as new to science from old boreal forests in Scandinavia and Russia. It differs from C. corrugatum by the dull and finely warty surface of the thallus, in producing an unidentified, diagnostic lichen substance, by the northern distribution, and the preference for Picea abies in moist, often swampy forest.

Malíček, J. & Mayrhofer, H. 2017. Additions to the lichen diversity of Macedonia (FYROM). — Herzogia 30: 431–444.

Selected localities in Galičica National Park, Matka canyon in the Suva Gora Mountains, Mavrovo National Park, Ohrid Basin, Vardar River valley and Popova Šapka in the Šar Planina Mountains were briefly studied during a field excursion in 2014. Seventy-seven lichenized fungi are reported for the first time from Macedonia (FYROM); eight species (Candelariella aggregata, Halecania viridescens, Lecanora albula, Lepraria diffusa, Normandina acroglypta, Parmelia barrenoae, Sarcogyne fallax and Schaereria corticola) are new to the Balkan Peninsula. Caloplaca substerilis, Fuscopannaria mediterranea, Gyalecta croatica, G. geoica, Leptochidium albociliatum, Lobarina scrobiculata, Protoblastenia lilacina, Sclerophora pallida and Thelopsis rubella represent other remarkable records. An enigmatic collection of an Immersaria, closely resembling I. athroocarpa and possibly representing a new species, is briefly discussed. The present paper brings the total number of lichenized and lichenicolous fungi known for Macedonia to 675 and 22, respectively.

Pino-Bodas, R., Ahti, T. & Stenroos, S. 2017. Cladoniaceae of the Azores. — Herzogia 30: 445 — 462. Based on material collected from 40 localities on four islands of the Azores, three species of Cladonia are new to Macaronesia: C. conista, C. mauritiana and C. novochlorophaea and four are new to the Azores: C. bellidiflora, C. dimorpha, C. rei and Cladonia sp. In addition, several species are new to individual islands of the archipelago. Cladonia dactylota is new to continental Europe (SW France). Cladonia stereoclada, described from the Azores, is lectotypified. These data are complemented with annotations on species distribution and chemical variations. Uncertain specimens were sequenced to confirm the species identities.

Aptroot, A., van Herk, C. M. & Sparrius, L. B. 2017. Twenty-two years of monitoring the lichen flora of megalithic monuments in the Netherlands. – Herzogia 30: 483–495.

Over the past 22 years, the lichen flora of 54megalithic monuments in The Netherlands has been monitored. In 2010, they harboured 133 lichen species. In 1988, 1993, 2000, 2005 and 2010, the lichen flora of all granite monuments were re-examined. Between 1988 and 2010 the number of lichen species per monument increased, especially those that grow normally as epiphytes and nitrophytes or have a southern distribution. Typical species of acidic rock decreased, together with other acidophytic epiphytes, lignicolous and terricolous species. The main driver for the observed changes is the increase in tree cover above and around the monuments. Changes in epiphytic lichen composition largely reflect changes in acid deposition, eutrophication and climate.

Peterka, T., Kalníková, V. & Plesková, Z. 2017. Pseudocalliergon lycopodioides, a new bryophyte species for Montenegro. – Herzogia 30: 496–500.

Pseudocalliergon lycopodioides is an European boreo-temperate species confined to extremely rich fens and other calcareous wetlands. The species belongs to endangered wetland biota; many localities across Europe have recently disappeared. Pseudocalliergon lycopodioides is rare on the Balkan Peninsula. Here we report the species as new for Montenegro. The moss was found on the plateau Jezerska Površ at the eastern edge of the Durmitor Mts. Pseudocalliergon lycopodioides grows here in moss-sedge vegetation of the Caricion davallianae alliance.

Döbbeler, P. 2017. Antheridia of Bryum capillare release moving spermatozoids after two months in the air-dry state. – Herzogia 30: 501–503.

A specimen of the moss Bryum capillare collected in August 2004 in Tuscany (Italy) was preserved for two months at room temperature. The specimen was rehydrated and screened for the presence of fungi. It was observed that mature antheridia released moving spermatozoids. Antheridia and spermatozoids survived for 60 days in the air dry state.
