Epiphytic Bryophytes of Atlantic Forest Fragments of Reserva Ecológica Michelin, Bahia State, Brazil

The Reserva Ecológica Michelin is located in the southern region of Bahia State, Brazil. It has a total area of 3,096 ha and contains a variety of environments from Atlantic Forest such as restinga, mangrove and estuary, and important remnants of rainforest. The floristic survey of epiphytic bryophytes occurring in forest fragments of the Reserva Ecológica Michelin resulted in 206 taxa (195 species and 11 varieties), distributed in 73 genera and 25 families of epiphytic bryophytes. Of the total, 123 are liverworts, distributed in 33 genera and eight families, and 83 mosses belonging to 40 genera and 17 families. We report six new occurrences, being four for the Northeast region of Brazil and two for Bahia State. A complete listing is provided containing the occurrence of species in each fragment, the geographical distribution, worldwide and in Brazil.
