Topic: Bruchia vogesiaca

Hi all,

I recently noticed that Bruchia vogesiaca isn't in any of the Recorder dictionaries - or at least I couldn't find it using an Unrestricted search.  The closest I could get was the Genus Bruchia in the List of additional names.  The species does have a Taxon Version Key - according to the NBN Gateway, NBNSYS0000163957.  I don't need to add any records, so it's not a problem for me that it isn't there, but I was just wondering if there was a reason for it?

Thanks for your help!
Lindsay

Re: Bruchia vogesiaca

Hi Lindsay

I can't comment on the ability to find it in Recorder but it does exist in the database:

Bruchia vogesiaca Schwaegr.

TVK: NBNSYS0000163957
Rank: Species
Out Group: moss
Entered by: xxx (01/01/1999)
Organism: NBNORG0000028993 (parent: NBNORG0000061675)
NAMESERVER: This is a RECOMMENDED name (NS KEY = NHMSYS0000781132)

Member of the following lists:
Habitats and Species directive (Annex II) (version 1)
Berne Convention (Appendix I) (version 2)
NHM Working Navigational Hierarchy (version 1)
JNCC collation of taxon designations (version 3)

Has the following names:
Bruchia vogesiaca Schwaegr. (TVK:NBNSYS0000163957)

I hope that helps. It seems to only exist in non-recommended lists so that might be a clue. :)
