Abstract

Abstract : Seventy bryophytes are reported new to (or confirmed for) Albania from a meeting of the British Bryological Society in 2014, based in the Valbona Valley. The high number of new records reflects the poor state of our knowledge of the bryoflora of the country. Many of the newly recorded species have Alpine, Boreal or even Arctic affinities. However the most significant record is that of Jungermannia calcicola Konst. & Vilnet., previously known only from the Russian Caucasus.
