Mossen van het BLWG-VWBL voorjaarskamp 2016 in de Gaume (Belgisch Lotharingen)

Bryological report of the 2016 spring-meeting of the Dutch BLWG and the Flemish VWBL in the Gaume (Lorraine, Belgium) Four field trips were organised in the rather unknown southern part of Belgian Lorraine, e.g. in the calcareous hills of the Gaume region around the small city of Virton. We focused on the bryoflora of ancient deciduous woodland with its ‘crons’, and the best preserved calcareous mires in the river valleys. New for Lorraine: Homomallium incurvatum, Porella arboris-vitae and Sphagnum majus. Other important finds: Campyliadelphus elodes, Cynclidium stygium, Hamatocaulis vernicosus, Hypnum pratense and Tomentypnum nitens. Recently separated taxa Tortella bambergeri and Ulota crispula are mentioned for the first time.
