Abstract
Although the bryophyte flora from La Gomera island is largely known, some new and interesting species has been recently recorded, mainly in those habitat types less studied of the cloud forest areas. A rare liverwort species in the Canaries, previously known only from Tenerife island (Telaranea europaea), and three mosses (Didymodon sicculus, Rhamphidium purpuratum and Sciuro-hypnum plumosum) are reported here as new to La Gomera. R. purpuratum is especially interesting due to its worldwide rarity. Aunque existe un amplio conocimiento sobre la flora briofítica de la isla de La Gomera, se han encontrado recientemente algunas nuevas e interesantes especies, principalmente en aquellos hábitats menos estudiados de áreas de bosques de nieblas. Una especie de hepática rara en Canarias, conocida solamente para la isla de Tenerife (Telaranea europaea), y tres de musgos (Sciuro-hypnum plumosum, Didymodon sicculus and Rhamphidium purpuratum) se citan por primera vez para La Gomera. R. purpuratum es especialmente interesante debido a su rareza mundial.
