Abstract: All available specimens of Fissidens collected in Hungary and deposited in BP, and the
Hungarian collections of the author (B-Erzberger) were revised, altogether more than 1500 specimens.
These collections are representative of Hungary, therefore their revision is equivalent to the
evaluation of Fissidens in Hungary. As a result of this work, the following sixteen taxa were found to
occur in Hungary: F. adianthoides, F. arnoldii, F. bambergeri, F. bryoides, F. crassipes, F. crispus (= F.
limbatus), F. curvatus (= F. algarvicus), F. dubius, F. exiguus, F. exilis, F. gracilifolius, F. gymnandrus,
F. incurvus, F. pusillus, F. taxifolius, and F. viridulus. F. bambergeri and F. crispus are reported for
the first time in Hungary. F. crassipes subsp. warnstorfii is no longer distinguished from F. crassipes
subsp. crassipes, and F. bryoides var. caespitans (= F. curnovii) is excluded. There are doubts with
respect to the taxonomic value of F. bambergeri and F. exiguus, but these seem insufficient at present
to warrant future neglection of these taxa. All Hungarian species are illustrated and described in
detail, with notes on habitat and associated bryophytes; their records are shown in a map, and their
red list status is briefly discussed. In addition, descriptions are also provided for all Fissidens species
occurring in the countries surrounding Hungary (but not in Hungary: F. fontanus, F. osmundoides,
F. ovatifolius, F. rivularis, F. rufulus, F. serrulatus). These species are also included in the key, and
some of them are illustrated.Keywords: distribution maps, mosses, habitat requirements, illustrated key, morphological descriptions
