ABSTRACT. Moss flora of the South Kamchatka Nature Park is presented based on synthesis of the previously published data, revised collection of the Komarov Botanical Institute and rich recent collection by Bakalin and Klimova. The annotated list includes 222 species currently confirmed from the park, and it is supplemented by a list of erroneous and doubtful records. The flora includes such species rare for the Russia as Anacamptodon kamchaticum, Andreaea nivalis, Brachydontium trichodes, Bryoxiphium norvegicum, Bryum salinum, Bucklandiella macounii, Climacium japonicum, Dicranum pacificum, Didymodon brachyphyllus, Dilutineuron corrugatum, Diobelonella palustris, Jochenia protuberans, Philonotis americana, Pohlia cardotii, Polytrichastrum sphaerothecium, Pseudoblindia falcata, Rhizomnium andrewsianum, R. nudum, Rhytidiadelphus pacificus, Schistidium tenuinerve, Sciurohypnum unicifolium, Sphagnum inexspectatum. Several more widespread species occur here close their northern limits of distribution: Atrichum flavisetum, Brachythecium buchananii, Claopodium pellucinerve, Myuroclada longiramea, Plagiomnium acutum, while Cinclidium subrotundum occurs here near its southern limit. Especially interesting is the finding of Philonotis cf. hastata, which was probably brought with migratory birds from tropical or subtropical area.
