Abstract

The taxonomical position of three Pottiaceae species present in the Mediterranean area have been reconsidered according to the criteria introduced by Zander (1993), in order to make the needed taxonomical changes that will be incorporated in the Mediterranean checklist of mosses that is being compiled. Two new combinations in the genus Tortula are proposed: Tortula vlassovii for Phascum vlassovii and Tortula acaulon var. galilaea for Phascum galilaeum. Pottia gemmifera is considered to be a synonym of Tortula caucasica.
