| Abstract | ||||
| Twelve moss species are reported for the first time in Hail, in northeastern part of Saudi Arabia. Among these, three are new records to Saudi Arabia viz Didymodon rigidulus, Crossidium laevipilum and Bryum caespiticium. The first taxon of these three mosses is as well new record to the flora of the whole Arabian Peninsula. This brings the total number of fully identified mosses known from Saudi Arabia to 120 taxa, and those of the Arabian Peninsula (excluding Socotra) to 162 taxa. | ||||
