Abstract

alpestris (Thed.) Schimp. Contributor: L. Thouvenot Andorra: Encamp, Ensagents, 42u319070N, 1u389410E, 2520 m a.s.l., on the top of granitic rock in alpine meadow, 17 July 2006, leg. L. Thouvenot 3086 (BCB 58238). According to Casas (2005) this species was pre-viously unrecorded in Andorra (Eastern Pyrenees) although it is known in the neighbouring countries of France (Cerdagne) (Aicardi, 2007) and Spain (Pallars Sobirà, Baixa Cerdanya) (Cros & Sérgio, 2007). 2. Andreaea australis Mitt. Contributor: H. Bednarek-Ochyra South Georgia: (1) Barff Peninsula, Lö nnberg Valley, ca 100 m (5300 ft) a.s.l., north-east facing rock ledge, GR 147112, 2 February 1964, leg. R. E. Longton 390 (KRAM); (2) approximately 1 mile east of The Crutch, ca 85 m (5250 ft) a.s.l., crevices of north facing rocks above scree, GR 132135, 14 December 1967, leg. S. W. Greene CG 550 (KRAM). Andreaea Hedw. is well represented on South Georgia, and Greene (1968) recognised nine species on this subantarctic island. As a result of subsequent studies, three more species have been added to the island's bryoflora, A. obovata Thed. (Ochyra et al., 2002), A. mutabilis Hook.f. & Wilson (Blockeel et al., 2003) and A. nitida Hook.f. & Wilson (Ellis et al., 2011b). Murray (2006) indicated that one more species, A. australis Mitt., occurs on South Georgia but did not cite any specimens. This species was indeed collected several times on that island and here two specimens are cited to substantiate this. Prior to this discovery A. australis was considered to be an
