• Resumen

  • As a result of field works conducted in Barrancos region, in the Guadiana river basin, near the border with Spain, the bryophyte flora is reported. The census includes 128 taxa (29 liverworts, 96 mosses and 3 hornworts). Some species of mosses are new to the country or correspond to the first locality (Bryum cyclophyllum, Entosthodon mouretii, Microbryum fosbergii, Pyramidula tetragona). Several others species of phytogeographic interest are reported and some aspects of their distribution and ecology are discussed.
