COMMENT

The reports included here are those published as Bryum atropurpureum in which Wahlenberg (Wahlenb.) appears as the authors. Whereas those in which Bruch & Schimp. are indicated, are considered as reports of Bryum dichotomum ( Bryum atropurpureum Bruch & Schimp. nom. illeg.). Nevertheless, as Pohlia atropurpurea is an unfrequent species in the Mediterranean region, the presence of the species in Algeria should be confirmed.
