British Bryological Society Expedition to Mulanje Mountain, Malawi 2. Checklist of Malawi bryophytes

Abstract

A checklist of all bryophytes identified from Malawi at May 1991 is presented, with synonyms and references. The list is derived from literature and unpublished collections, and contains 197 mosses and 106 hepatics. The checklist was produced to provide a basis for describing plants new to Malawi, particularly for the British Bryological Society Expedition to Mulanje Mountain, Malawi in 1991. Distribution information is included, and the species accounts include published references and collection numbers where known. All information is held on a computer database.
