Bryophytes nouvelles, rares et remarquables du Quebec-Labrador. 2011. maps. col. photogr. figs. XI, 187 p. Spiralbound.
Recent botanical investigations in Quebec, notably in northern regions difficult to access, allowed us to update our knowledge of the bryoflora of this vast territory.
New information is presented on 1 hornwort, 62 liverworts, 4 sphagna and 72 mosses. Of these 139 taxa, 3 mosses and 1 liverwort are new to Canada, and 13 liverworts, 2 sphagna and 14 mosses are mentioned for the first time in Quebec-Labrador. Numerous range extensions are reported, notably for rare taxa. Distinctive characteristics are discussed for each taxon and a dichotomic key is presented for difficult taxa.
A distribution map within Quebec-Labrador completes the information for 135 taxa. Eleven species historically mentioned for this territory are now excluded.
