Abstract

Seven species and one variety of mosses are reported from New Brunswick for the first time. A previously overlooked specimen of Orthotrichum gymnostomum Bruch ex Brid., collected in this province in 1884, is the only North American record of the species outside Newfoundland. Thirteen additional species are confirmed for New Brunswick or Nova Scotia. One of these, Mi- cromitrium austinii Sull. in Aust., is known in Canada from a single specimen collected in Nova Scotia in 1947. Eleven taxa are shown to have been incorrectly reported for Nova Scotia or New Brunswick.
