Abstract

Christian Frimodt-Møller in 1997 collected an interesting bryophyte material in the Tanzanian Udzungwa Mountains, part of the Crystalline Eastern Arc. The material came from the Udzungwa Scarp Forest Reserve, an outsider satellite of the Udzungwa Mountains National Park, which is a bryologically completely unknown part of the south-western end of the mountains. The study site is located in a lower montane rainforest at an elevation of 1500–1700 m. These records fill a gap between the much better known north-eastern part of the Udzungwe Mountains and the Southern Highlands of Tanzania. Altogether 25 species of liverwort and five mosses were identified that in greater part are new to these mountains
