Bryophytes of Kinabalu National Park (including Poring) are reported here based on collections made by two Japan-Malaysia collaborative expeditions held in 1997. Although our research centered mainly on moss flora, some hepatics were also collected. A total of 40 families, 111 genera and 203 species of mosses, as well as 18 families, 25 genera and 31 species of hepatics were found among our collections. Twenty-five species were new to Kinabalu National Park or Sabah, 17 of which were new to Borneo Island.
