Abstract
The bryophyte flora of Karacabey (Bursa) Floodplain Forest in Turkey was investigated in 2017. Here, we report Weissia multicapsularis (Sm.) Mitt. from forest. This globally important moss species is a new record for Turkey and the continent of Asia. Illustrations, details of the location in Turkey and comparisons with morphologically similar taxa are provided.
