Mosses from Rovno Amber (Ukraine). 5. New Findings and Comparison of Mosses from Rovno and Baltic Amber

Two new species are described from the Late Eocene Rovno amber: Sematophyllites katyae Ignatov and Ignatova sp. nov. and S. rovnoi Ignatov and Ignatova sp. nov., and S. subjulaceum is recorded from a new locality. The spectra of moss families of the Rovno and Baltic amber are compared. A conclusion is made on the general similarity of the growing environment present in the Rovno and Baltic amber forests, where existed suitable conditions for Sphagnum , which grew submerged being heavily covered with diatoms.
