Leptolejeunea tridentata Bischl. Status: Critically Endangered (CR) B1,2c Class: Jungermanniopsida Order: Porellales Family: Lejeuneaceae Description and Biology: Leptolejeunea tridentata is a very small epiphyllous leafy liverwort, sparsely branched, with shoots 2-5 mm long and less than 0,7 mm wide. Leaves are obovate with three large teeth (2-4 cells long and 1-2 cells wide) and the ventral lobule is inflated, 1/3 the leaf length. Leaf cells are polygonal, with trigones and intermediate thickenings. The leaf has one large basal ocellus and a small laminar one. Underleaves are small and remote, bifid, usually with adhesive rhizoid disc. Plants dioicous, perianth inflated, 5-keeled above, the keels extended into short horns. Vegetative reproduction occurs by cladia. Distribution and Habitat: This species is only known from two localities in South America: 1) the Chocó Department in Colombia, the wettest region of the Neotropics, where it was found as an epiphyll in an old-growth lowland rainforest, at 80 m, and 2) the Pará Department in Brazil, also as epiphyll in várzea forest. History and Outlook: Leptolejeunea tridentata was collected only twice and meets the IUCN criteria for Critically Endangered based on the area of occupancy less than 10 km² , severely fragmented existence and the decline in habitat quality. – CR (B1,2c).

(LEJEUNEACEAE, MARCHANTIOPHYTA) Tamás Pócs Abstract. Thirty-eight species of the genus Cololejeunea (Spruce) Steph. (Lejeuneaceae, Marchantiophyta) are reported for the whole of Australia, more than doubling the number of taxa known since the first account of the Australian members of the genus. Cololejeunea cairnsiana Pócs, Cololejeunea heinari Pócs and Cololejeunea floccosa var. fraseriana Pócs are described as new to science. The records of Cololejeunea diaphana A. Evans, Cololejeunea gottschei (Steph.) Mizut., Cololejeunea longifolia (Mitt.) Benedix ex Mizut. Cololejeunea verrucosa Steph. and Cololejeunea floccosa(Lehm. & Lindenb.) Steph. var. amoenoides Tixier are new for the continent. Cololejeunea amoena Benedix is treated as a variety of Cololejeunea floccosa. Cololejeunea tortifolia Steph. is synonymized with Cololejeunea microscopica (Taylor) Schiffn. and is excluded from the Australian flora. The name Cololejeunea cambodiana Tixier is validated.

Mishler, Chair Professor David D. Ackerly Professor Katherine N. Suding Spring 2013 Abstract Adaptive Traits and Community Assembly of Epiphyllous Bryophytes By Ekaphan Kraichak Doctor of Philosophy in Integrative Biology University of California, Berkeley Professor Brent D. Mishler, Chair Leaf surfaces of tropical vascular plants provide homes for diverse groups of organisms, including epiphyllous (leaf-colonizing) bryophytes. Each leaf harbors a temporally and spatially discrete community of organisms, providing an excellent system for answering some of the most fundamental questions in ecology and evolution. In this dissertation, I investigated two main aspects of epiphyllous bryophyte biology: 1) adaptive traits of bryophytes to living on the leaf surface, and 2) community assembly of epiphyllous bryophytes in space (between-hosts) and time (succession). For the first part, I used published trait data and phylogeny of liverworts in family Lejeuneaceae to demonstrate that only the production of asexual propagules appeared to evolve in response to living on the leaf surface, while other hypothesized traits did not have correlated evolution with epiphylly. The second portion dealt with the assembly of communities among different host types.

The Guaraní Land – Checklist of Hornworts (Anthocerotophyta) and Liverworts (Marchantiophyta) of Paraguay1
Polish Botanical Journal 58(1): 267–277, 2013 DOI: 10.2478/pbj-2013-0027 THE GUARANÍ LAND – CHECKLIST OF HORNWORTS (ANTHOCEROTOPHYTA) AND LIVERWORTS (MARCHANTIOPHYTA) OF PARAGUAY1 LARS SÖDERSTRÖM , ANDERS HAGBORG , MATT VON KONRAT & ANA SÉNECA Abstract. The first ever liverwort and hornwort checklist is provided for Paraguay. Despite the high level of biological diversity in Paraguay, there remain very few intensive collecting efforts for liverworts and hornworts in the region since the late 1800’s. We report 2 hornwort taxa and 71 liverwort taxa. The list is based on almost 100 literature references, including monographs, regional studies, and molecular investigations. Given the dramatic loss of habitats in Paraguay coupled with high species diversity in other organisms, further collecting of liverworts and hornworts is critical. There is also the potential to use historical records with contemporary collections to investigate the impact of habitat loss in the area.

Consequences for the dates of validations of specific names are analysed. Names not validly published (both generic and specific names) in this period are also identified. A few species names must be changed from those in common use today and two new combinations, Rectolejeunea versifolia and Lejeunea hyalina, become neces- sary. Introduction Taxonomic recognition of well-defined segregates within the broadly defined genus Lejeunea Libert (1820: 373) began in large part with the monumental treatment of the liverworts of the Amazon and Andes by Spruce (1884).

Diversity and Rarity of Epiphyllous Bryophytes in a Superhumid Tropical Lowland Forest of Chocó-Colombia
Cryptogamie, Bryologie, 2011, 32 (2): 119-133 © 2011 Adac. Tous droits réservés Diversity and rarity of epiphyllous bryophytes in a superhumid tropical lowland forest of Chocó-Colombia Juan C. BENAVIDES* & Inés SASTRE-DE JESÚS Department of Biology, Call Box 9000, University of Puerto Rico, Mayagüez Campus, Mayagüez PR, 00680 (Received 2010, accepted 11 January 2011) Abstract – Plant rarity is considered a useful predictor of the extinction risk of species. However, apparent rarity can emerge from incomplete data sets or incorrect sampling. Epiphyllous bryophytes are a poorly collected and taxonomically complicated group, with incompletely known distribution patterns. In this paper we explore the diversity patterns and meso- and micro-habitat specialization of common and rare epiphyllous bryophyte species, and evaluate the threat status of Aphanolejeunea gracilis, Leptolejeunea tridentata, and Otolejeunea schnellii. Epiphylls were collected from 240 samples (10 × 10 cm) in 30 plots of 5 × 5 m in superhumid lowland forest of the Chocó, Colombia. Our results indicate that epiphyll diversity and species composition is similar among palm and non-palm leaves. Disturbance had a negative effect on epiphyll cover, species richness, and diversity of rare species. Data on rare species did not correlate with global or national red lists, indicating that detailed surveys are necessary to accurately assess the threat status of “rare” species. Bryophytes / Chocó / diversity / endangered species / epiphylls / range distribution / rarity INTRODUCTION Extinction processes driven by human factors is one of the main threats to global diversity in our time (Vitousek et al., 1997). Evidence points to habitat loss and fragmentation as the main menace to organisms in tropical regions (Laurance and Useche, 2009).
