Abstract
The author presents the results of his own research of bryophyte flora carried out in years 1962-1972 in R. Macedonia. He mentioned 269 bryophyte taxa (41 liverworts and 228 mosses), among them 75 taxa (18 liverworts and 57 mosses) are reported for the first time in Republic of Macedonia. Six species are included in the Red data book of European bryophytes (ECCB 1995).
Key words: bryophyte flora, Bryophyta, Marchantiophyta, Republic of Macedonia, chorological analysis, red-listed species.

1. INTRODUCTION
Bryofloristically speaking, Macedonia is the least investigated republic of former Yugoslavia. This is clearly evident from the Lists published so far (Düll et al. 1999, Cekova 2005, Sabovljević & Natcheva 2006, Ross et al. 2007, Sabovljević et al. 2008). The smaller number of recorded liverworts and musci is not due to the scarcity of bryoflora, however, but to the relatively limited number of floristic investigations. This is most clearly illustrated by the fact that the last bryofloristic paper published came out in 1992 and that 56 % of the liverworts and 28 % of the mosses are known from only one locality (Cekova 2005).
Until now, only little information on the bryophyte flora has been available for the areas mentioned in this article except for Šar planina. These data were contributed by Herzog (1919), Soška (1939), Zabijakin (1960, 1963), Szepesfalvy in Csiki, Javorka & Kümmerle (1926).

In the period 1962 - 1972 the author intensively collected bryophyte material in different parts of Macedonia, especially in the higher regions. However, he only published the material (Musci) from Šar planina (Martinčič 1980). This article presents the data also for other regions out of Macedonia. The high number of the species that are recorded in this article for Macedonia for the first time demonstrates that the poor presence of bryophytic flora is in fact the result of its being poorly investigated.
2. MATERIAL AND METHODS The study area
The localities in which bryophyte material was collected can be arranged in three groups. The first is composed of the localities in the mountain ranges of Korab and Dešat and the valley of

the River Radika below them, the localities in Šar planina and Mt. Pelister. Most of the collected bryophytes are from the subalpine and alpine belt, and only a smaller part is from the montane belt at altitudes between 1000 and 1500 m. The other group comprises the localities from the vicinity of Prilep (No. 6-8) - these are mostly in the montane belt at altitudes between 1000-1300 m. The third group consists of the localities (No. 9-17) from the lowland and colline belts, mostly at altitudes of 150-500 m. They are scattered around different parts of Macedonia.
Collecting localities
Localities are equipped with the position in the UTM network system (34 T world part), and for subdivision we applied the grid of 10 x 10 km. Re-
gretfully, ecological denotation of particular localities remains highly inadequate. Altitude sometimes indicates only the belt in which the bryo-phyte material on a certain locality was collected.

Methods
The field excursions on which the present paper is based were carried out in the period 1962 - 1972. The data were evaluated according the checklist of R. Macedonia (Cekova 2005), the new checklists of SE Europe (Sabovljević & Natcheva 2006, Sabovljević et al. 2008) and of the Mediterranean (Ross et al. 2007).
Nomenclature of liverworts follows Schu-macker & Vana (2005), that of mosses Hill et al. (2006). Floral elements are given according to Düll et al. (1999), Martinčič (1966, 2006) and Hill & Preston (1998). The specimens are preserved in the Herbarium of Department of Biology (Biotechnical faculty) University of Ljubljana.
3. RESULTS AND DISCUSSION
Altogether 269 bryophyte taxa (41 liverworts and 228 mosses) have been recorded, of which 75 (18 liverworts and 57 mosses) are reported for

the first time in R. Macedonia (marked with * in List of taxa). Blepharostoma trichophyllum subsp. brevirete is a new taxon for the Balkan peninsula, Aloina brevirostris, Cephalozia ambigua and Andre-aea alpestris are new species for the territory of former Yugoslavia.
List of taxa: Hepaticae
Aneurapinguis (L.) Dumort. - valley of Topolka river near Veles, 200 m. Cekova (2005) does not mention this species, it is reported for Macedonia by Sabovljević & Natcheva (2006) and by Ros et al. (2007). Barbilophozia floerkei (F. Weber & D. Mohr)
Loeske - Šar planina: Bistra, 2500-2600 m. Barbilophozia barbata (Schmidel ex Schreb.) Loeske - Markova kula above Prilep, 750 m; Zagradski kamen above Prilep, 1200 m. Barbilophozia hatcheri (A. Evans) Loeske - V. Krčin, 2000 m; Pelister, 1900-2200 m, 2400 m; Pelister, at lake Malo ezero, 2200 m; Pelister, kota 1905, 1700 m; Šar planina: Kule near Ljuboten, 2200-2300 m; Ceripašino, 2000 m; Kobilica, 2000 m; Piribeg, 1900 m; Šutman, 2200 m; Borislajec, 2400 m. Barbilophozia lycopodioides (Wallr.) Loeske -

Arctic-alpine element (Damsholt 2002). The southernmost locality in Europe so far was in Slovenia (the Julian Alps: Mangart). The discovery of this taxon on Šar planina is surprising because it is the only locality of this subspecies in the Balkan Peninsula. It should nevertheless be taken into consideration that Macedonian mountains, in addition to Prok-letije, are an important diversity centre of arctic-alpine (subarctic-subalpine) bryophyte species (Martinčič 1966, 2006).

However, because of a misinterpretation of syno-nymics, Cekova (2005) classified this taxon as a synonym into the species C. longicuspis (Lindb. & H. Arnell) Hedenäs, which is an arctic element (Hedenäs 1988). Sabovljević et al. (2008) mention C. protensum only for Albania, Bulgaria and Romania, but it is recorded also from Slovenia, Croatia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Serbia and Montenegro (Pavletić 1955, Martinčič 1968, Düll et al. 1999).

Two out of three varieties that species E. pulchellum comprises in Europe - var. pulchellum (Martinčič 1980) and var. diversifolium (Herzog 1919) - have already been recorded for R. Macedonia. In the territory of former Yugoslavia, the var. praecox, which is a taxon new to R. Macedonia, has so far been known only from Slovenia, Bosnia and Herzegovina and Serbia.
Eurhynchiastrum pulchellum (Hedw.) Ignatov & Huttunen var. pulchellum - Baba near Pletvar, 1200-1300 m; V. Krčin, 2000 m; Pelister, 2200 m, 2200-2400 m.

*Fontinalis antipyretica Hedw. subsp. gracilis (Lindb.) Kindb. - Pelister, bog near alpine house, 2200 m.
Boreal-temperate element. A polymorphic species, distributed across the entire SE Europe. There are only older data on the distribution of subspecies (Pavletić 1955, Martinčič 1968, Düll et al. 1999). The subspecies gracilis grows mainly in colder streams of the montane belt in Slovenia, Croatia and Bosnia and Herzegovina.
Funaria hygrometrica Hedw. - Dojran, 150 m.
*Grimmia caespiticia (Brid.) Jur. - Korab, 2300 m; Pelister, 1900-2300 m. Subarctic-subalpine (alpine) element. This species is reported in SE Europe only from Bulgaria, Montenegro, Romania and Serbia (Sa-bovljević et al. 2008).
*Grimmia donniana Sm. - Šar planina: Livadica, at lake, 2200 m; Smreka, 2000 m.
Subarctic-subalpine (alpine) element. This species is reported in SE Europe from Slovenia, Croatia, Serbia, Bulgaria and Romania. Martinčič (1968) mentioned the species also for R. Macedonia, but this was based on his misinterpretation of the synonymics, which was later followed by Düll et al. (1999).
Grimmia hartmanii Schimp. - Pelister, above the village of Niže Pole, 1400-1600 m.
Grimmia laevigata (Brid.) Brid. - Zagradski kamen above Prilep, 950 m; Demir Kapija, 100 m.

101
HACQÜETIA 8/2 • 2009, 115-128
after Erzberger (1996) it was recorded from three localities.
Heterocladium dimorphum (Brid.) Schimp. -Pletvar above Prilep, 900 m; Korab, 2300 m; Korab, peak, 2700 m.
*Homalothecium aureum (Spruce) H. Rob. - Veles, 250 m; Dojran, 150 m. Meridional element (Mediterranean-submediter-ranean element). In the continental parts of SE Europe it has so far been found only in Serbia - south Banat (Sabovljević 2003). The two localities in R. Macedonia demonstrate that in the south of the Balkan Peninsula the species has been more widely distributed than we have thought. Düll (Düll et al.1999) characterises this species as a Mediterranean montane element, but the definition meridional element (mediterranean-submediterranean) is more appropriate, at least for SE Europe.
Homalothecium lutescens (Hedw.) H. Rob. - Orlovo brdo at Krivolak, 200-500 m.
Homalothecium philippeanum (Spruce) Schimp.
-	Pletvar above Prilep, 900 m; Baba near Plet-var, 1200-1300 m; Veles, 250 m; Gradsko near Veles, 200 m; Kratovo, 700 m; Pčinja near Skopje 200 m; Petrovac near Skopje, 200 m; V.

*Hypnum andoi A.J.E. Smith - valley of river Radika between Mavrovo and Žirovnica village, 900 m.
Temperate-(subatlantic) element. The knowledge of the distribution of the taxa from the complex H. cupressiforme is entirely insufficient because more often than not, the classification stopped at the level of the common species. A revision of the herbarium material is therefore necessary. Our assessment of the taxa followed the solution as described in Hill et al. (2006). In the territory of former Yugoslavia, the H. andoi, which is a taxon new to R. Macedonia, has so far been known only from Slovenia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Serbia.

*Scorpidium cossonii (Schimp.) Hedenäs - Pe-lister, bog near alpine house, 2200 m. Boreal-montane element. Zabijakin (1963), and later also Martinčič (1966, 1968), mention S. revolvens for the Pelister mountains. Recently, this information has been mentioned by both Cekova (2005) and Sabovljević et al. (2008). Revision of our own material, which was determined on the basis of Hedenäs (1989) and Blockeel's (2000) taxonomic processing, on the other hand, showed that this was in fact the species S. cossonii, which is generally much more widely distributed. Both species differ not only in their anatomic features, but also in their ecology. It is therefore very likely that the specimens collected by Zabijakin also belong to the species S. cossonii. Düll (Düll et al. 1999) has already expressed his doubt in the occurrence of S. revolvens in the territory of former Yugoslavia. This is consistent with the revision of abundant material in Slovenia which established that S. revolvens grows only on the raised bog Veliko Blejsko barje on Pok-ljuka-Plateau (Martinčič 2003).

Temperate element. It was reported from all other SE European countries except Albania, Bosnia and Herzegovina and R. Macedonia (Sabovljević et al., 2008).
The most important group among the species new to R. Macedonia comprises frigidophilous species that grow in the subalpine and alpine belt of the mountain ranges of Šar planina, Korab -Dešat and Pelister. Phytogeographically they belong to the arctic-alpine, subarctic-subalpine (alpine), alpine and boreal-montane geoelement.
To the arctic-alpine geoelement (arctic-alpine, subarctic-subalpine/alpine) belong: Blepharosto-ma trichophyllum subsp. brevirete, Cephalozia ambigua, Gymnomitrion concinnatum, Lophozia heterocolpos var. heterocolpos, Andreaea alpestris, Grimmia caespiticia, Grimmia donniana, Hygrohyp-num duriusculum, Hypnum sauteri and Syntrichia norvegica. The largest part of them are the sub-arctic-subalpine species, i.e. the species which do not reach into the real Arctic within Europe. The denotation "subalpine" is not the most suitable, as these species grow mostly in the alpine belt on the Balkan Peninsula e.g. in Macedonian mountains (Martinčič 1966). In the western parts of the Balkan Peninsula some of them exhibit a characteristic disjunct distribution or part of it: the Alps (Slovenia) - Vranica (Bosnia) - Prok-letije - Macedonian mountains: Blepharostoma trichophyllum subsp. brevirete (Slovenia - Šar planina), Gymnomitrion concinnatum (Slovenia - Montenegro - Šar planina), Scapania helvetica (Slovenia - Korab), Hypnum sauteri (Slovenia -Šar planina). Three species belong to the alpine element: Scapania helvetica, Encalypta microstoma and Molendoa sendtneriana.
The boreal-montane element is represented with the following taxa: Cephalozia lunulifolia, Riccardia palmata, Tritomaria exectiformis subsp.
101
Hacquetia 8/2 • 2009, 129-146
exectiformis, Aloina brevirostris, Isopterigyopsis pul-chella, Lescuraea saxicola, Sciuro-hypnum starkei, Scorpidium cossonii, Sphagnum inundatum.
The largest among the taxa new to Macedonia is the group of boreal-temperate and temperate species. To the first we attribute the taxa distributed in the boreal zonobiome of coniferous forests and in the temperate zonobiome of deciduous forests. Aneura pinguis, Marchantia polymorpha subsp. ruderalis, Marsupella funckii, Nardia scalaris, Scapania aspera, Brachythecium glareosum, Campylium protensum, Campylium stellatum, Cir-riphyllum piliferum, Dicranum bonjeanii, Drepano-cladus polygamus, Fontinalis antipyretica subsp. gracilis, Grimmia longirostris, Plagiomnium elatum, Polytrichum piliferum var. hoppei.
Temperate species are limited to the temperate zonobiome, to the belt of deciduous vegetation. This belt comprises also the larger part of the Balkan Peninsula with the exception of the Mediterranean-Submediterranean regions and areas above the timberline. These comprise the following species: Chiloscyphus coadunatus var. riv-ularis, Amblystegium radicale, Aulacomnium andro-gynum, Brachythecium campestre, Campyliadelphus elodes, Hypnum imponens, Hypnum cupressiforme var. lacunosum, Oxyrrhynchium hians, Rhynchoste-gium murale, Sciuro-hypnum populeum, Thuidium assimile, Tortula obtusifolia, Weisia longifolia. Species Hypnum andoi, Hypnum jutlandicum, Neckera pumila are most common in the western parts of European temperate zonobiome and can be characterised as the temperate-(Subatlantic) element.
There are relatively few thermophilous species among the new taxa found mostly in the lowland parts of Macedonia. They only comprise the meridional (Mediterranean- Submediterranean) species Homalothecium aureum, a Subatlantic-Submediterranean species Entosthodon pulchellus, Hedwigia stellata, Leucodon sciuroides var. morensis and meridional-temperate (Submediterranean-temperate, southern-temperate sensu Hill & Preston 1998) species Plasteurhynchium striatulum, Pterygoneurum ovatum, Syntrichia ruraliformis, Tor-tula atrovirens and Tortula lanceolata.
Six species from the List are included in the Red Data Book of the European Bryophytes (ECCB 1995). Among them four species are in the category rare (R): Mannia triandra, Amblystegium radicale, Brachythecium geheebii, Grimmia caespiticia; Campyliadelphus elodes is regionally threatened (RT) and Bryum intermedium is in the category insufficiently known (K).

The author is very grateful to P. Erzberger for determining specimens of Hedwigia.
5. POVZETEK
Makedonija je v brioflorističnem pogledu najslabše raziskana republika nekdanje Jugoslavije. To je jasno razvidno na podlagi Seznamov, ki so bili objavljeni (Düll et al. 1999, Cekova 2005, Sabovljević & Natcheva 2006, Ross et al. 2007, Sabovljević et al. 2008). Vendar manjše število zabeleženih vrst jetrenjakov in listnatih mahov ni posledica revnosti briofitske flore, temveč razmeroma skromnih florističnih raziskav. To dejstvo najlepše ponazarjata podatka, da je zadnji briofloristični prispevek izšel leta 1992, ter da je 56 odstotkov jetrenjakov in 28 odstotkov listnatih mahov poznanih samo iz ene lokalitete (Cekova 2005).
Avtor je v obdobju od leta 1962 do 1972 intenzivno nabiral mahovni material v različnih, zlasti v višjih predelih Makedonije. Vendar je objavil le material (Musci) iz Šar planine (Martinčič 1980). V pričujočem prispevku objavlja podatke še za druge predele.
Nahajališča (razvidne so v angleškem besedilu), na katerih smo nabirali mahovni material, lahko združimo v tri skupine. Prvo skupino predstavljajo nahajališča v gorskih sklopih Korab, De-šat in dolina reke Radike pod njima, Šar planina ter Pelister. Večina nabranih mahov izvira iz subalpinskega in alpinskega pasu, le manjši del iz montanskega, iz nadmorskih višin od 1000 do 1500 m. Drugo skupino sestavljajo nahajališča iz okolice Prilepa (štev. 6-8) - večinoma so v mon-tanskem pasu, na nadmorski višini od 1000 do 1300 m. Tretjo skupino tvorijo nahajališča (štev. 9-17), ki so v nižinskem in kolinskem pasu, predvsem na nadmorskih višinah od 150 do 500 m. Raztresene so po različnih predelih Makedonije. Nahajališča so opremljene z oznako, ki prikazuje lego v UTM mreži (34T) in podrazdelitvijo na mrežo 10 x 10 km.
Podatke smo ovrednotili s podatki, zbranimi v »Pregledu brioflore republike Makedonije« (Cekova 2005), z Listo jetrenjakov JV Evrope (Sabovljević & Natcheva 2006), z Listo mahov JV Evrope (Sabovljević et al. 2008) in Listo jetrenjakov Mediterana (Ros et al. 2007).
V delu je navedeno 269 taksonov (41 jetrenjakov in 228 listnatih mahov), med katerimi je 75

taksonov (18 jetrenjakov in 57 listnatih mahov) novih za Makedonijo (v seznamu opremljenih z zvezdico). Pri nekaterih novih taksonih je dodan tudi kratek komentar.
Med vrstami, novimi za Makedonijo predstavljajo najpomembnejšo skupino tiste, ki pripadajo arktično-alpinskemu, alpinskemu in borealno-montanskemu geoelementu. Arktično-alpinski geoelement (arktično-alpinski, subarktično-sub-alpinski/alpinski) je zastopan z naslednjimi vrstami: Blepharostoma trichophyllum subsp. bre-virete, Cephalozia ambigua, Gymnomitrion con-cinnatum, Lophozia heterocolpos var. heterocolpos, Andreaea alpestris, Grimmia caespiticia, Grimmia donniana, Hygrohypnum duriusculum, Hypnum sa-uteri in Syntrichia norvegica. Največji del med njimi so subarktično-subalpinske vrste, to so vrste, ki v Evropi ne sežejo v pravo Arktiko. Oznaka »subalpinski« ni najbolj ustrezna, kajti te vrste na Balkanskem polotoku, npr. v makedonskih gorstvih uspevajo v alpinskem pasu (Martinčič 1966). Nekatere od teh vrst imajo v zahodnih predelih Balkanskega polotoka značilno disjunktno razširjenost: Blepharostoma trichophyllum subsp. brevirete (Julijske Alpe - Šar planina), Gymnomi-trium concinnatum (Slovenija - Črna Gora - Šar planina), Scapania helvetica (Slovenija - Korab), Hypnum sauteri (Slovenija - Šar planina).
Borealno-montanski element je zastopan z naslednjimi vrstami: Cephalozia lunulifolia, Riccardia palmata, Tritomaria exectiformis subsp. exectifor-mis, Aloina brevirostris, Isopterigyopsis pulchella, Lescuraea saxicola, Sciuro-hypnum starkei, Scorpidi-um cossonii, Sphagnum inundatum. Tudi pri teh vrstah opažamo, tako kot pri arktično - alpskih, da uspevajo na jugu Balkanskega polotoka na višjih nadmorskih višinah kot v Alpah.
Številčno največja skupina med taksoni, novimi za Makedonijo, predstavljajo borealno-tem-peratne in temperatne vrste. K prvim štejemo taksone, ki so razširjeni v borealnem zonobiomu iglastih gozdov ter v temperatnem zonobiomu listopadnih listavskih gozdov. Temperatne vrste so vezane na temperatni zonobion, na pas listopadne listavske vegetacije. Ta obsega med drugim večji del Balkanskega polotoka razen medi-teransko-submediteranskih območij in predelov nad gozdno mejo.
Med novimi taksoni, ki so bili najdeni v nižinskih predelih Makedonije, je razmeroma majhno število termofilnih vrst. Sem uvrščamo le medi-teransko-submediteransko (=meridionalna) vrsto Homalothecium aureum, subatlantsko-submedite-
ranski vrsti Entosthodon pulchellus, Hedwigia stel-lata in submediteransko-temperatne (meridional-no-temperatne; southern-temperate sensu Hill & Preston 1998) vrste Plasteurhynchium striatulum, Pterygoneurum ovatum, Tortula atrovirens in Tortu-la lanceolata.
Šest vrst iz Seznama je vključenih v Rdečo knjigo ogroženih evropskih mahov (ECCB 1995). Štiri med njimi sodijo v kategorijo redke (R): Mannia triandra, Amblystegium radicale, Brachythe-cium geheebii, Grimmia caespiticia; Campyliadelphus elodes je regionalno ogrožena vrsta (RT), Bryum intermedium pa je v kategoriji nezadostno poznanih vrst (K).
