ABSTRACT. A preliminaty list of mosses of Anabar Plateau and nearby areas (70-73°N and 100-111°E) includes 520 species. Rare species are highlighted and briefly discussed. With a mix of arctic, boreal, xeric, and even suboceanic species, the area is exceptionally rich for subarctic Siberia. The occurrence of numerous calciphytes, including 11 species of Seligeria, ultra-acidophytes such as Tetrodontium brownianum, and “metallophytes” in the genera Mielichhoferia and Coscinodon, can be explained by the complex bedrock geology.
