FA43055C5B59FFE6FF68E006FE17FD75.taxon	distribution	Distribution: — Endemic to Brazil (states of Bahia, Paraná, and Sergipe).	en	Dantas, Fabiano S., Peralta, Denilson F. (2025): A new species of the genus Eccremidium (Dicranellaceae, Bryophyta) from Brazil. Phytotaxa 720 (2): 184-186, DOI: 10.11646/phytotaxa.720.2.10, URL: https://doi.org/10.11646/phytotaxa.720.2.10
FA43055C5B59FFE6FF68E006FE17FD75.taxon	biology_ecology	Ecology and habitat: — Eccremidium brasiliense grows on moist soil and rocky substrates covered by a thin layer of sand, in habitats ranging from partially shaded to sun-exposed. It occurs within Caatinga and Atlantic Forest vegetation, including restinga, at elevations of 50 – 650 m. This species is rare, a condition possibly related to its small size and ephemeral nature, typically forming small tufts associated with other moss species (Vital & Egunyomi 1984).	en	Dantas, Fabiano S., Peralta, Denilson F.

FA43055C5B59FFE6FF68E006FE17FD75.taxon	etymology	Etymology: — The specific epithet brasiliense refers to the geographic distribution of the species, which is currently known only from Brazil.	en	Dantas, Fabiano S., Peralta, Denilson F.
