Mosses and liverworts of Africa

Our main project at present is GBA (Guide to bryophytes of sub-Saharan Africa), but other projects include producing checklists of bryophytes and data about diversity and endemism in Africa.   At present only moss diversity data is available.

The map below shows the countries recognised in sub-Saharan Africa for the bryophyte checklist, distribution and diversity information accessible from this page.

The countries of Index Muscorum regions Afr 2, Afr 3 and Afr 4.
