VANIO BRAZILIAN BRYOPHYTES AT TUR

In 1885 Edvard August Vainio travelled to Brazil primarily to collect lichens, but he also collected bryophytes. The mosses were mostly iden tified by Brotherus and C. Muller. and the hepatics by Stephani. These authors described several new species based on Vainio's collections. The set kept at the Vainio herbarium at Turku, Finland (TUR) has recen tly been rediscovered. All the bryophytes are listed, with their colle ction localities and TUR accession numbers.
