The bryofloristic inventory of two old-growth montane mixed woods in South Bohemia brought the first country records of Aneura maxima and Rhynchostegiella tenuicaulis, as well as a score of other remarkable finds, of which particularly Hypnum fertile may be of whole-European interest. The floristic richness of the larger of the reserves, Žofínský prales, was found to be extraordinary (185 species documented so far) with respect to the type of the habitat. The two newly discovered species are illustrated along with Hypnum fertile and H. imponens and their differentiation from similar and related taxa is discussed. The recent distribution is summarized and ecological remarks are presented with the most interesting collections (Harpanthus scutatus, Metzgeria violacea, Jamesoniella autumnalis, Campylostelium saxicola, Dicranum viride, Neckera pennata, Rhynchostegium confertum).
