A total of 14 species of bryophytes are added to the flora of Singapore. These include five liverworts, namely Cephaloziella inaequalis R.M.Schust. (Cephaloziellaceae), Colura cristata Jovet-Ast (Lejeuneaceae), Mizutania riccardioides Furuki & Z.Iwats. (Calypogeiaceae), Radula loriana Castle (Radulaceae), and Riccia fluitans L. (Ricciaceae), eight mosses, namely Calymperes fasciculatum Dozy & Molk. (Calymperaceae), Calymperes pallidum Mitt. (Calymperaceae), Calymperes subintegrum Broth. (Calymperaceae), Chionoloma induratum Dixon (Pottiaceae), Fissidens holleanus Dozy & Molk. (Fissidentaceae), Pogonatum piliferum (Dozy & Molk.) Touw (Polytrichaceae), Splachnobryum obtusum (Brid.) Müll.Hal. (Pottiaceae), Racopilum cuspidigerum (Schwägr.) Ångstr. (Racopilaceae), and a hornwort, Notothylas breutelii (Gottsche) Gottsche (Notothyladaceae). Cephaloziella, Mizutania, Pogonatum and Racopilum are new genera reported for the country as well as Polytrichaceae and Racopilaceae are new families. Pogonatum piliferum also represents the first and only member of the class Polytrichopsida for Singapore. Descriptions, notes on distribution and ecology are provided for all species.
