Abstract
Thirty six moss species were recorded from Daqahlia province, Nile Delta. Weissia perligulata Flow. (Pottiaceae) was new record to Afr1. In addition, Hyophila involute (Hook.) Jaeg., (Pottiaceae), Ptychostomum arcticum (R. Brown) J. R. Spence ex Holyoak & N. Pederson and P. cyclophyllum (Schwagr) J. R. Spence (Bryaceae) were new records for Egypt. Fifteen species were new to Nile delta. This raised the number of identified moss taxa recorded from Egypt up to 192 taxa, from Nile delta 51 taxa and Daqahlia province 39 taxa. Data on the up-to-date classification, habitats, voucher specimens and distribution of the enumerated species and the descriptions of the new records including the photos have been provided.

Highlights
Number of moss taxa from Egypt has been quietly increased in the last decade into 188 taxa belonging to 59 genera, 17 families and 10 orders (El-Saadawi et al, 2013 a,b; Ibrahim et al, 2013; Hassan et al, 2017; El-Sakaty et al, 2018; Khalil and Farag, 2018; Taha, 2020)
The investigation of 264 samples revealed the occurrence of 36 moss species belonging to 19 genera under six families and four orders in Daqahlia province
Shaw (Mniaceae), recorded previously by El-Saadawi et al (1986) but not recorded by the present study, the number of moss elements of Daqahlia province was increased to 39 moss species under 20 genera
Summary
Number of moss taxa from Egypt has been quietly increased in the last decade into 188 taxa belonging to 59 genera, 17 families and 10 orders (El-Saadawi et al, 2013 a,b; Ibrahim et al, 2013; Hassan et al, 2017; El-Sakaty et al, 2018; Khalil and Farag, 2018; Taha, 2020). The last study on the Bryoflora of Daqahlia province was accomplished more than 34 years before by El-Saadawi et al, (1986) as a part of Nile delta moss flora. The present study was aimed to explore the current status of the bryoflora of Daqahlia province, Nile Delta and Egypt
