Abstract

As the result of the floristic study of soil mosses from high montane forest in the Sierra Nevada National Park in Mérida, Venezuela, we report 18 new species for Mérida State and 39 new reports for Sierra Nevada National Park. Ten of these species are recorded for the first time in the Andes of Venezuela. In addition, Sematophyllum chlorocornum (Mull. Hal) W.R. Buck S. P. Churchill & I. Sastre is a new record for Venezuela. The species are listed with their global and local distributions. In the case of Sphagnum L., comments to separate the species are provided.
