Abstract :In this study, the moss flora of Koramaz Valley in Central Anatolia (Kayseri) was investigated. As a result of the identification of 611 moss specimens collected from the valley, a total of 93 taxa belonging to 14 families and 35 genera were determined. Among them, Tortula lingulata is recorded the second time in Türkiye, while 6 taxa are new for the B8 grid square. While Pottiaceae was the richest family in the study area with 35 taxa, Grimmiaceae ranked second with 12 taxa, and Brachytheciaceae ranked third with 11 taxa. The largest genera in the Koramaz Valley were Syntrichia (11 taxa) and Didymodon (10 taxa). Amblystegium serpens, Syntrichia virescens, and Tortula brevissima are the most common species in the valley.Keywords : Orta Anadolu, Karayosunları, Vadi, Türkiye
