RST Apology to Tasmanian Aboriginal people 2021.
Eighteen species of mosses and four species of liverworts were identified from the Hogan Group. Bryurn capillare, B. dichotomum, B.pachytheca, B. sauteri, Ceratodon purpureus, Lembophyllum divulsum,
Ptyehomitrium australe, Tortella calcyina and Triquetrella papillata are new moss records for the Bass Strait area, and Fru llania deplanata, F. pen tapleura and Lunu laria cruciata are new liverwort records.
Collections were made during drought conditions and it is to be expected that the records for species number and distribution are incomplete.

The Royal Society of Tasmania acknowledges, with deep respect, the traditional owners of this land, and the ongoing custodianship of the Aboriginal people of Tasmania. The Society pays respect to Elders past, present and emerging. We acknowledge that Tasmanian Aboriginal Peoples have survived severe and unjust impacts resulting from invasion and dispossession of their Country. As an institution dedicated to the advancement of knowledge, the Royal Society of Tasmania recognises Aboriginal cultural knowledge and practices and seeks to respect and honour these traditions and the deep understanding they represent.
On 15 February 2021, the Royal Society of Tasmania offered a formal Apology to the Tasmanian Aboriginal people.
