This dataset contains the digitized treatments in Plazi based on the original journal article Juan, Juan Guerra, Jiménez, Juan A., María, Omar Rodríguez, Cano, María J. (2025): Brachythecium turgidum (Hartm.) Kindb. (Brachytheciaceae) in the Oromediterranean belt of Sierra Nevada (southern Spain). Cryptogamie, Bryologie 46 (1): 1-8, DOI: 10.5252/cryptogamie-bryologie2025v46a1, URL: sciencepress.mnhn.fr/sites/default/files/articles/pdf/bryologie2025v46a1.pdf ABSTRACT Brachythecium turgidum (Hartm.) Kindb. is currently known in the Iberian Peninsula only from a few localities in the Pyrenees.

In this work a new locality is reported for southern Spain (Granada, Sierra Nevada), that represents an important disjunction of the species in the Iberian Peninsula and Europe. Its ecological behavior is described and some fundamental taxonomical characters for its identification are corroborated and illustrated.
