Abstract

In this study, the bryophyte flora of the Baskil District Elazığ was investigated between April and October 2015. In total 54 taxa 1 liverwort, 53 mosses , belonging to 13 families and 29 genera were determined by identifying bryophyte specimens collecting the study area. From these taxa, twenty four taxa are new records for Elazığ province, according to the grid-square system of Henderson 1961 fifteen taxa are new records for B9 grid square. Pellia epiphylla has been reported for the first time in Elazığ province with the present paper. While the largest families in terms of number of taxa are Pottiaceae 14 , Brachytheciaceae 9 , Bryaceae and Grimmiaceae 8 , the largest genera are Syntrichia 6 , Grimmia 6 and Ptychostomum 4 . In addition, the life forms of the taxa which were examined in terms of ecological and floristic have been analyzed. From life forms; while Turf life form ranks the first, Cu life form ranks the second. Most of the taxa within the floristic list in terms of some ecological characteristics are xerophyt, photophyt and subneutrophyt
