Abstract
This is the first paper of a series dealing with the bryoflora of Hunan Province in China. The vegetation, geology and geological history of Mangshan Nature Reserve and Wulingyuan Global Cultural Heritage Area are described and the collecting sites of the 1997 and 1999 bryological expeditions there are listed. Our 1 000 specimens studied so far represent 55 genera and 105 species in 28 families. A total of 19 genera, 3 species of Anthocerotae, 20 species of hepatics, and 46 species of mosses are for the first time recorded for the Hunan Province. Diplophyllum serrulatum (Mull. Frib.) Steph., Lophole-jeunea brunnea Horik., and Metzgeria albinea Spruce are for the first time recorded for mainland China. Atrichum subserratum (Hook.) Mitt. extends its range from the Himalayas to Central Chinese mountains, and Dicranodontium asperulum (Mitt.) Broth. has a disjunct occurrence in Hunan between the Himalayas and Taiwan.
