Open-access Bryophytes of the Parque Estadual de Campos do Jordão, São Paulo, Brazil

ABSTRACT

The Parque Estadual de Campos do Jordão (PECJ) is an important remaining area of the Atlantic Forest and does not present bryofloristic surveys. The aim of this study was to survey the bryophyte flora of PECJ and provide data on the diversity of this group of plants in the area, highlighting those species that represent new occurrences for the state of São Paulo. The study includes samples collected from the late 1960s to the end of 2017. As a result, 490 species were recorded, of which 63 are endemic to Brazil and 26 are new records for the state of São Paulo. The most diverse moss families are Orthotrichaceae (22 spp.), Bryaceae (21 spp.), Pottiaceae (21 spp.), and Fissidentaceae (20 spp.). Regarding the liverworts, Lejeuneaceae (80 spp.) is the largest family found in the PECJ.
