Abstract

An inventory of the bryophytes from Tucuman-Bolivian montane forest of Bolivia resulted in 374 species distributed among 184 genera and 70 families; liverworts are represented by 97 species, 42 genera, 20 families; hornworts by a single species, genus and family; and mosses by 276 species, 141 genera, 49 families. Twenty-seven percent of the known Bolivian bryophytes are present in the Tucuman-Bolivian montane forest. Comparing the bryophyte composition of the two recognized montane forest ecoregions, the Yungas and the Tucuman-Bolivian, the former is 2.8 times more diverse than the latter
