Abstract:
Recent botanical investigations in Québec, notably in northern regions difficult to access, allowed us to update our knowledge of the bryoflora of this vast territory. New information is presented on 1 hornworth, 62 liverworts, 4 sphagna and 72 mosses. Of these 139 taxa, 3 mosses and 1 liverwort are new to Canada, and 13 liverworts, 2 sphagna and 14 mosses are mentioned for the first time in Québec–Labrador. Numerous range extensions are reported, notably for rare taxa. Distinctive characteristics are discussed for each taxon and a dichotomic key is presented for difficult taxa. A distribution map within Québec–Labrador completes the information for 135 taxa. Eleven species historically mentioned for this territory are now excluded.
