Members of the genus Bryum in Antarctica are revised. Only two, Bryum argenteum HEDW. and B. pseudotriquetrum (HEDW.) GAERTN., MEYER et SCHERB. are so far recognized there as terrestrial species. Another hydrophytic one, Bryum sp. occurs at coastal sites of the continent near the Syowa Station. Several bryaceous species hitherto described on the basis of Antarctic material, such as B. inconnexum CARD., B. crateris DIX., B. perangustidens CARD. and B. ongulense HOR. et ANDO are suggested to be synonymous with B. pseudotriquetrum, in addition to B. gerlachei (CARD.) BROTH. and B. austro-polare CARD. which have been reduced to synonyms of it before.
