Mosses of the Egyptian conservation areas: III. Two new Pottiaceae records to Saint Catherine Protected Area and Egypt

Two moss species, Anoectangium handelii and Hymenostylium crassinervium, are newly recorded from Egypt's Saint Catherine Protected Area, marking the first documentation of these Pottiaceae species in the country. Additionally, Anoectangium Schwagr is identified as a new genus to Egypt. The study provides detailed descriptions, illustrations, and distribution insights for both species, contributing to the understanding of Egypt's bryophyte diversity within its UNESCO-listed conservation areas.
