New bryophyte records for West and Central African countries

Abstract

Nineteen new country records for Liberia, eleven for Ivory Coast, two for the Democratic Republic of the Congo, and three from Equatorial Guinea (Bioko) are presented. The following new combination is proposed: Entosthodon cam eruniae (Dixon) N.Wilding ex Frank Müll., comb. nov. (Basionym: Funaria cam eruniae Dixon). Figure plates are presented for Entosthodon cam eruniae and Trachypodopsis normandii. The latter one, an endemic of mountainous areas of West Africa and hitherto only known from Fouta Djallon in Guinea and the Loma Mountains in Sierra Leone could be the first record for the Nimba Mountains of Liberia.
