COMMENT
Doubtfully present in Algeria. This report was published as Barbula nivalis (without the author’s name) but indicating that it was one of the most common mosses in the region. As the identity of the type of the basionym of this name ( Tortula vinealis var. nivalis Spruce ) is Didymodon gianteus and it is a rare species in the Mediterranean Region, it is doubtful to which species Julien referred. It was not included in the previous checklists of Ros et al. (1999, 2013).
