About 200 species of bryophytes are currently known from Egypt. The majority are mosses, only 13 species belong to the liverworts while no hornworts exist. Regarding the liverworts, and following simplified methods used by previous workers, 11 out of the 13 species are listed under threatened categories; 6 of them are in the CR category, 4 in the EN category, 1 in the VU category and 2 are considered not threatened. This evaluation documents the situation at the time of collection, i.e. from 1958 to 1999, which is quite a long time, however, it is basic for any future Red Listing of bryophytes in the country.
