Abstract
A survey of mosses undertaken on the plateau region of Zambia resulted in the collection of eighty-eight species representing twenty-eight families. A total of seventy-three species of mosses have been reported from Zambia up to 1983, but this report provides an additional sixty-one species The preliminary pattern of distribution reveals that out of the eighty-eight species collected, sixty-two occur in the woodlands and riparian forests while twenty-six are restricted to the humid, waterfall sites.
