The first checklist of lichens in Latvia was published in 2001 (Piterāns, 2001A). The second revised checklist was prepared taking into account recent changes, which have occurred in the lichen flora and includes all known new species for Latvia. The checklist includes species found in Latvia more than 100 years, but which have no recent records. Every year, new species for Latvia are recorded, and as a result the numbers of lichens reported in Latvia differ in publications of different years. Presently, the checklist includes 573 species, five subspecies, eight varieties and two forms. 34 lichen species, included in the Red Data List of Latvia, are marked with an asterix (*). The Latvian checklist will be useful for scientists, biologists, bachelor, master and doctoral students, and amateur naturalists with special interest in lichens. The first comprehensive list of hornworts (Anthocerotopsida), liverworts (Marchantiophyta), and mosses (Bryophyta) for Latvia was published in 2001 (Āboloņa, 2001). From then on, 53 new taxa for Latvia were recorded. Therefore, this new updated list encompassing 565 species, 9 subspecies, 22 varieties and one form was prepared. Currently, the bryophyte flora in Latvia comprises 32% of the total number of bryophyte species in Europe (totally 1753 species are known in Europe (Söderström et al., 2002; Hill et al., 2006)).
