New national and regional bryophyte records, 24

Campylopus pilifer var. lamellatus has a trans-Atlantic distribution, recorded from Costa Rica, Ecuador, Peru, and Bolivia, and also in tropical Africa (where was described as C. introflexus var. altecristatus (Renauld & Cardot) Thér.) (Frahm, 1991). Churchill & Linares (1995) suggests that this variety possibly occurs in Colombia along the Andean corridor. In Argentina it grows in the Superior Montane Forest between 1650-1750 m a.s.l, on rocky, exposed banks, together with Polytrichum juniperinum. Until now, these new records for Argentina would be the southernmost limit of its distribution. Differs from var. pilifer by the llamellae at the dorsal side of the costa, which are 5-6 (-7) cells high.Fil: Suarez, Guillermo Martin. Consejo Nacional de Investigaciones Científicas y Técnicas.
