the smaller font. Explanatory notes are appended to selected taxa, especially where there has been an
amendment to the distribution given in (1) and (2). Authorities of names follow Brummitt & Powell 1992
(166), supplemented, including the suppression of spaces between initials and surname.
The countries in which each current taxon has been recorded are denoted by 3-character abbreviations,
which follow Hollis & Brummitt 1992 (539), with few exceptions. The name of the country and the Index
Muscorum region to which it is assigned is shown in Appendix 3. The countries are given in alphabetic
order of the abbreviation and not of the country name, which means that some names are slightly out of
sequence - for example, Mauritius (MAU) being listed before Madagascar (MDG). However, the
alphabetic arrangement of abbreviations makes it easier to 'read' the checklist. Literature references are
given in brackets after each country abbreviation, and are translated in the References and Literature
sections following this alphabetic list.
