Bryoerythrophyllum caledonicum, commonly known as Scottish beardmoss,[3] is a moss endemic to Scotland.[4] Recognised as a distinct species in 1982, it had been collected occasionally from 1891 onwards under other names. The largest populations are in the Breadalbane mountains including Ben Lawers with smaller populations in mainland Lochaber and on the islands of Skye and Rùm. It has a very restricted habitat, growing only on damp montane schist or basalt ledges. The species has been provisionally classified as Low Risk (Near threatened) and receives protection under the Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981.[5]

Был признан отдельным видом в 1982 году, упоминался с 1891 года под другими именами. Наибольшая популяция произрастает в Бредалбейне. Также встречается на островах Скай и Рам. Имеет весьма ограниченную среду обитания, растёт только на влажных горных сланцах или базальтовых уступах. Был временно классифицирован как вид с низким риском исчезновения и защищается «Законом о дикой природе и сельской местности» 1891 года[2].
