Abstract

Erpodiaceae, a poorly collected or recorded moss family in Yunnan, is increasingly found to be common in previously over-looked habitat such as tree trunks in disturbed areas. Four species are known in Yunnan with Erpodium perrottetii representing a genus new for China according to current generic placement, and Solmsiella biseriata new for Yunnan. The habitat preference of Erpodiaceae is re-evaluated and Aulacopilum abbreviatum is suggested to be excluded from the Red-List-Species in China. Keys and images are provided to aid recognition of all four genera of Erpodiaceae in China.
