Bryophytes from the Central Herbarium or the Universidade Federal do Espírito Santo (VIES), Espírito Santo State, Brasil

ABSTRACT

The Herbarium VIES is one of the five botanical collections housed in Espírito Santo State and includes the second largest number of samples. The Bryophytes group was not studied for many years and had about only 120 exsiccates until 2019, however, the collection was reorganized, new studies are being carried out and currently almost 3,000 samples are deposited. And now it is the biggest bryophyte collection of the state. During this process, 242 specimens were identified and reported in this work, with 121 species, in addition to new records for the state. Therefore, this work expands the knowledge on the bryophyte’s diversity in Espírito Santo State and partially fills the gap in studies for this group in the state.
