Abstract:
The Bau Limestone Area supportsa total of 98 species and one variety of mosses in 51 genera and 19 families. This represents 86.4% of the 22 families, 67.1% of the 76 genera and 45% of 220 species and varieties of mosses reported for Sarawak (Touw, 1978). The largest family found in this study is Calymperaceae, represented by 24 species in six genera. The second largest family is Sematophyllaceae, represented by 14 species and one variety in nine genera, and followed by Family Hypnaceae with 11 species in six genera. Of the 99 taxa in this report, 25 species and one variety are reported for the first time for Sarawak. Within these 26 taxa, Fissidens hyalims Hook & Wilson, F. oblongifolius J.D. Hooker & Wilson, Racopilum schmidii (Mull. Hal.) Mitt., Meteorium subpolytrichum (Besch.) Broth, and Rhaphidostichum piliferum (Broth.) Broth.,are new to Borneo.
