Abstract;In Canada, Garry oak ecosystems have a restricted distribution in the southwest corner of British Columbia. Bryophyte biodiversity research in these heavily altered ecosystems has been sporadic, with most of the focus being on rare species. The paper reports on the author's initial study on a broad-based bryophyte survey for Garry oak communities, focusing in the early stages on rare or 'interesting' species. Ephemerum serratum is reported here new to western Canada. (author abst.)
