The bryoflora was determined on roadside banks along the transect Mayagüez-Maricao that begins in the municipality of Mayagüez at an elevation of 15 m on highway 108 and culminates in the municipality of Maricao on highway 120 South at an elevation of 472 m. During the months of February to April of 2003 an ecological inventory was carried out at five sampling stations of 10 m2 each, in which 3 m2 were chosen at random to collect the bryophyte species and to determine cover. In the month of May of the same year a floristic inventory was carried out at 13 sampling stations along the studied transect. Analysis of similarity among the stations, variance, distribution and association among species were analyzed. Dicranella hilariana, Fossombronia brasiliensis, Lejeunea cladogyna and Philonotis uncinata were the most frequent species and those with wide distribution on the highway banks.
