Pilotrichella (Bryophyta: Lembophyllaceae) in Mexico

Abstract Pilotrichella, a genus of epiphytic mosses comprising 6 species and 1 form, is represented in Mexico by P. flexilis (Hedw.) Aongstr., P. flexilis fo. nudiramulosa (Müll. Hal.) B. H. Allen & Magill, P. mauiensis (Sull.) A. Jaeger, and P. reesei B. H. Allen & Magill. The last species is known from a single specimen. The Peruvian P. vermiformis B. H. Allen & Magill is reported here as new to Mexico from Hidalgo, Veracruz, and Oaxaca. In total, 260 specimens deposited at MEXU served to illustrate, map, and discuss the basic morphology of the local taxa.
