| Description | Pseudocalliergon lycopodioides is an European boreo-temperate species confined to extremely rich fens and other calcareous wetlands. The species belongs to endangered wetland biota; many localities across Europe have recently disappeared. Pseudocalliergon lycopodioides is rare on the Balkan Peninsula. Here we report the species as new for Montenegro. The moss was found on the plateau Jezerska Površ at the eastern edge of the Durmitor Mts. Pseudocalliergon lycopodioides grows here in moss-sedge vegetation of the Caricion davallianae alliance. |
