Abstract:Based on detailed collection and identification of bryophytes,we discovered two new geographic distribution records of Leptodontium pungens and Syntrichia amphidiacea.L.pungens is discovered in China for the first time.It is superficially well distinguished by the hyaline layer.More constant features include the absence of a stem central strand and a differentiated epidermis over the costa.Frequently collected on volcanos and páramos at high altitudes,mainly distributed in Mexico,Central American,Andes,Juan Fernandez,southern Brazil and Africa.S.amphidiacea was firstly found in Inner Mongolia.The peculiar character of this species is that there are abundant cylindrical gemmae on the dorsal and ventral surfaces of leaf apices.The species has been reported from Eastern North America,Mexico,Central America and Guizhou Province of China.Morphological characteristics and geographical distribution of L.pungens and S.amphidiacea are discussed.Meanwhile the illustrations are provided.The present study increased the basic data of Chinese moss flora.
