Abstract: AbstractAbstractA bryophyte checklist of Northern Africa has been compiled based on the published literature. On the basis of this catalogue 5 hornworts, 171 liverworts and 706 mosses are reported for the area (total number 882). It includes Algeria (648 taxa), Egypt (excluding the Sinai Peninsula, 156 taxa), Libya (138 taxa), Mauritania (5 taxa), Morocco (594 taxa), Spanish territories in North Africa (58 taxa), Tunisia (336 taxa), Western Sahara (0 taxa), and the Saharan part of Chad (88 taxa), Mali (4 taxa) and Niger (4 taxa). Several new combinations are required following publication of this checklist. Type material of these taxa was not studied, therefore they are listed under their illegitimate names, but with their probable correct positions indicated.
