List of Mosses without iNat records in BC/PNW

Pasted below is a jerry-rigged table of moss species as yet recorded in the iNaturalist system. Because of incongruent taxonomies between Flora or North America, iNaturalist, Herbarium Records and Government Lists, the habitat descriptions are a pastiche. If you are interested in targeting these taxa, I suggest doing the following things for recon:

(1) Check the names at The Bryophyte Nomenclator
(2) Check relevant name at Flora of North America Online, where you will find exhaustive description and sometimes even a lavish illustration.
(3) To target regions where it is known to occur, check The Bryophyte Portal Map Search
(4) Do a species search in the iNaturalist system to see if there are photos of the species from elsewhere in the world so that you might prime your search image.

Looks great, only thing I would bring up is that there are records of Encalypta alpinum. I collected a bunch of them last year, and I believe you identified some of them as E. alpina. I've uploaded the as such, not sure why they don't show up in the search.

Or are they too far east (northern rockies/peace)

Thanks @jbindernagel == I think it is because E alpinum has subspecies which my sloppy spreadsheet calls and vlookups would have missed. I'll edit it out.

Ulota barclayi -> Ulota japonica in iNaturalist. I have one observation I called that, but didn't leave a trail of notes, so have no idea whether it's a good call or not.

@cwardrop - didn't you recently get Dichodontium olympicum?

@dbltucker yeah and the Niphotrichum pygmaeum. I don't have field shots but I may as well put up microscopy? Idk though not the best photos. Will see in a bit. I also have obs of several other species here from BC.
@rambryum... Bucklandiella affinis? Sanionia symmetrica? Might need some more trimming ;) I think it's likely your same subspecies problem. Neat compilation, I see the Pottiaceae is well represented :P

@rambryum I have found some of these, but need to spend time making iNat observations. Winter project!

@cwardrop thanks for catching -- I have deleted subspecies or at least things on the periphery of those. @gwark thanks for the synonymy catch on Ulota-- I have deleted that one, too. @bcollis I tagged you because you seem to photograph a lot of the northern and alpine material, so I look forward to whatever your winter project may produce (no pressure!).

Bartramia halleriana has been recorded in BC in Mount Robson Park.

I collected Bryum calobryoides in Wells Gray although the specimen was pretty crappy by the time I identified it and took photos

I have Tayloria lingulata in iNaturalist

@ptilidium thank you for all the corrections -- I have edited the list down
