A checklist is given of the mosses of Bhutan based on published report s. Totals of 156 genera and 282 species are recorded. The main past co llectors of mosses in Bhutan are listed, together with sources of erro neous reports; 44 erroneous and doubtful taxa are excluded. The name B reutelia setschwanica is applied to the only Himalayan member of the g enus. The name Barbula flavicans is proposed as an avowed substitute f or the illegitimate Tortilla flavescens Hook. & Grev. (Barbula fuscesc ens C. Mull. nom. inval.)
