Bryology and Lichenology RAJI, RASAQ OLADOJA [1], ARIYO, Olusesan Ayodele [2]. Epiphytic Bryoflora from Southwest Nigeria. The epiphytic bryoflora from southwest Nigeria has been reported.The host specificity was shown by the recorded species in which the bark structure and bark chemistry of the host tree has an important influence on the number and composition of epiphytic bryophyte.
Isopterygium sericifolium showed the highest species richness. All epiphytic bryophyte collected were found growing on rough barks. Generally the studied bryophyte showed a considerable preference to different host tree. This suggests the need for careful management of the tree species growing in southwestern Nigeria which will help in conserving the local epiphytic bryophytes community for enhanced biodiversity richness.
