Materal and methds The specmens were cllected n dfferent parts f Turksh Thrace (prvnces f stanbul, Klrklarel, and Tekrdag), durng the years 1992 and 1993, when a survey f lcaltes wth eclgcal cndtns sutabe fr the grwth f lverwrts was undertaken. Fr determnatn, the publcatns f Amell (1979), Watsn (1981), and Gòkler & Oztrk (1991) were used.
