06 Chapter 2.Pdf JJT. Classiftcatlon. 14 IT. CLASSIFICATION OF LIVERWORTS. Bryophytes are devided into two groups, Liverworts and Mosses. Liverworts are simplest and pioneering group of land plants. The first comprehensive account of classification was given by Nees Von Essenbeck (1833-1838) - an earlier German Bryologist in his Naturgeschichte der europaischen Labermoose. After that, Gottsch, Lindenberg and Nees (1844- 1847) published a classical work on bryophytes in Synopsis Hepaticarum. Later, Stephani (1898-1924) wrote ^Species Hepaticarusi' , Endlicher (1841) classified the Hepaticae as follows: ORDO - Ricciaceae s.str,,Corsinia,Sphaerocarpos, etc. ORDO - Anthocerotae, Anthocerox , Manioc lea , Calobryut» , ORDO - Targioniaceae, Targionia, Cyathodium ORDO - Marchantiaceae, (equivalent to sub-order Marchantiinae). ORDO - Jungermanniaceae, su-b-divided into the following genera." - I. Frondosae. 1. Metzgerieae : Metzger ia. 2. Aneureae '• Riccardia,, An ear a 3. Haplolaeneae : Pellia, Slasia^ Synphyogyria . 4. Diplomitrieae : Blyttia (Pal lav icxv ia f- ftoerckia) , 5. Codonieae '• FossorsbroTiia, II. Jubuleae - iejeunear Phragmicomaf Frullania, Jabula, Pore 1 la f Radula, etc. IV. Mastigophoreae - Sendtrisra (- ilastiQophBrki^ii^erhtrrYta. 15 V. Trichomanoideae - Lepidoziaceae, Calypogiaceae + Pleurosia. VI. Geocalyceae - Geongylanthus^ GeocalyXf Saccogyna . VII. Jungermannideae - Chiloschyphus, Harpanthus, iophocoiea.(including Lophozia, Aplozia, Cephalozia etc.) VIII. Gjonnomitria - Mar supe 2 la, Nordia, Gyanom itr XOTI , Haplomitr iuvi. The above classification has resemblance to that adopted by Gottsch, Lindberge and Nees in the Syttopsis Hepaticarum (1844-1847). This system was revised by Lindberge (1875) in his "Hepaticae iri hibernia mansee Juiii lectae" . Certain innovations are striking particularly the derivation of the Foliose Jungermanniales at diverse points from the thallose Jungeremanniales. Lindberge's system was based on an earlier system in which three divisions were adopted as follows: I. Jungermanniaceae. II. Marchantiaceae. A. Merchantieae a. Eumarchantieae. b. Targionieae. B. Ricciaceae. III. Anthocerotaceae. Lindberge (1875) has adopted this system as follows: I. Marchantiaceae. A. Schizocarpae : Marchantiaceae, Targioniaceae. B. Cleistocarpae : Corsinieae, Ricciaceae, 11. Jungermanni aceae. A. Schi zocarpae. 16 a. Anomogamae. 1. Frullanieae : Frullaniaceae, Lejeuneacaeae, Radulaceae, Porellaceae, Pleuroziaceae. 2. Metzgerieae : Hetzg^r ia. b. Homogamy. 1. Opi sthogamae. i. Lepidozieae : Lepido2iaceae, Odontochis -maceae, Cephaloziaceae, Lophocoleaceae. ii. Saccogyneae : Calypogeiaceae, Southbyaceae. iii. Riccardieae : Riccardiaceae. 2. Acrogamae. iv. Blepharozieae : Ptilidiaceae. V. Jungermanleae : Jungermanniaceae, Lopho -ziaceae, Scapaniaceae. Vl. Acrobolbeae •• Acrobolbus ^ Gongylanthu-:. vii. Fossombronieae : Metzgeriales, except Riccardia , Met^rger ia and Calobryales. B. Cleistocarpae. 1. Sphaerocarpeae : RiellSf Sphserocurpos. 2. Thallocarpeae : Thai locar pus (=Ricc.in curtisii). III. Anthocerotaceae 1. Anthoceroteae. Schiffner (1917) pointed out that the genera and species of Lindberge's (1875) system were arranged in a descending pattern i.e. the Anthoceroteae were considered as the primitive while the Marchantiaceae the most complex. The imperfection of this system was largely resolved by Hofmeister (1851) and Leitgeb (1874-1881). Leitgeb^ made some improvements in Schiffner's (1893-1895) system which 17 are as follows: I. Marchantiales. 1. Ricciaceae. 2. Corsiniaceae. 3. Marchantiaceae. a. Astroporae : Cleveaceae, b. Operculatae : Grimaldiaceae. c. Targionieae : Targioniaceae. d. Compositae Marchantiaceae, Conocephalaceae, Lunulariaceae. II. Jungermanniales. 1. Jungermanniales anakrogynae. a. Sphaerocarpideae. b. Rielloideae. c. Metzgerioldeae : Aneuraceae, Metzgerlaceae. d. Leptotheceae : Moerck in, P^il laviciri ia, e. Codonioideae : Pelliaceae, Blasiaceae, Fossombroniaceae f. Haplomitrioideae : Calobryales. 2. Jungermanniales akrog3mae. a. Epigoniantheae : Jungermanniaceae b. Trigonantheae : Lepidozioid, Calypogeioid, Cephalozielloid, Odontochismoid, c. Ptilidioideae : Ptilidiaceae. d. Scapanioideae : Scapaiiiaoeae. e. Stephanioideae, Radula. f . Pleurozioideae.Pi<?urc)z;:a , g. Bellincinoideae. Porellaceae. h. Jubuloideae. Lejeuneaceae, Frullaniaceae. 18 III. Anthocerotales. a. Anthocerotae. Some changes in Leitgeb's system (1874-1881) were followed by Schiffner (1893-1895) in "^ Die Naturlichenpflanzenfamilien edited by Engler and PrantleC1894). The system followed by Muller (1905-1916) was that of Leitgeb^ and Schiffner^with minor alterations.This system was also followed by MacVicar (1926)with exception that following Cavers (1910-1911) he elevated the Sphaerocarpales to the rank of order and placed them at the beginning of the system. Dumortier (1874) introduced a system in which he devided the Hepaticae into five equal families : Jungermanniaceae, Marchantiaceae, Anthocerotaceae, Targioniaceae, Riccciaceae. Classification of Travison is important as it included number of new generic groups and some new tribes. His classification is as follows: I. ORDO Jungermanniaceae. Jungermanniaceae foliose. 1. Schistochlleae Trevis. Schiztochila, NotsrisXaco11a 2. Acoleae Dumort. Lepidolaeria,, Tr icholea. 3. Scalieae Tevis. Scalia, RhopaXarithus. 4.

Riella, Sphaeroc^os. 'T 20 2. Corsinieae Huebn. Corsinia. 3. Riccieae Nees. Ricciai, Ricciocarpus . In contrast to the arbitrary classification of IKunortier (1874) and Trevinsen (1877), an acceptable system was put forward by Spruce (1884-1886). His system is as follows: Subordo - Jungermaniaceae. Tribus I. Jubuleae : Frullariia, lejeunea. II. Jungermannieae. Subtribus : 1. Eaduleae : Radula. 2. Porelleae : Par el la. 3. Ptilidieae : Ptilidiaceae, sensu Evans. 4. Trigonantheae •• Lepidoziaceae and Calypogiaceae. 5. Scapanioideae : Scapaniaceae, Schi stochi1aceae. 8. Epigoniantheae : Lophocoleaceae, Chonecoleaceae, Plagiochilaceae, Jungermanniaceae, Lophoziaceae. 7. Fossombroniaceae. a. Fossombronieae typicae Fossombrortia^ Noteroclada, b. Leptotheceae. i. Foliosae : Calobryuvt , ii. Frondosae : Pal lai'icinia, HoTioclea . 8. Metzgerieae • Riccardiaceae, Metzgeriaceae. Subordo - Marchantiaceae. Subordo - Ricciaceae. Subordo - Anthocerotaceae. The major limitation of this system lies in the acceptance of four divisions. The division into sub group 21 of the Jungermanniaceae was by far natural and was followed, with little change by Schiffner (1893-1896) and Muller (1905-1916). Spruce's (1884-1885) classification served to influence that of Evans (1892), At the beginning of the twentieth century many imporant innovations were introduced. Howe (1897) following suggestion of Qayet (1897) separated Anthocerotae from the Hepaticae as a distinct class. Howe (1899), in Jungermanniales recognised the family Jungezmannlaceae and the Metzgeriaceae. Campbell (1912) accepted the suggested division into two classes, Jensen (1915) retained this classification, his arrangement follows that of Lindberge (1875); in that, leafy Hepaticae are arranged into two groups, Acrogammae and Opistogammae, based mainly on position of gynoecia (archegonium) on long or short branches. At about the same time, Cavers (1910-1911) introduced a new classification of the Bryophytes. He treated Sphaerocarpales as the most primitive, keeping it in the benginning of the Bryophyta. His system is as follows*. Order I Sphaerocarpales, Sphaerocarpaceae. Riellaceae. Order II Marchantiales, Ricciaceae, Corsiniaceae, Targioniaceae, Monocleaceae, Cleveaceae, Marchantiaceae, Aytoniaceae (Grimaldiaceae). Order III Jungermanniales. Aneuraceae : Metzgeriaceae. 22 Blyttiaceae : Pallavlciniaceae. Codoniaceae : Codoniaceae. Calobryaceae, Lophoziaceae : Epigoniantheae, Cephaloziaceae : Trigonantheae. Ptilidiaceae, Scapaniaceae, Radulaceae, Porellaceae, Pleuroziaceae, Lejeuneaceae •• Frullaniaceae, Order IV Anthocerotales. The classification of Joergensen (1934) is similar to Jensen (1915) in the recognition of 'tribes' of leafy Jungermanniales. Species of this have been incorporated

An index of published names of liverworts and hornworts between 2015 and 2016 is provided as part of a continued effort in working toward maintaining an updated world checklist of these groups. The list herein includes 64 higher taxon names, 225 specific names, 35 infraspecific names, two infrageneric autonyms and 21 infraspecific autonyms for 2015 and 2016, including also names of fossils and invalid and illegitimate names. Thirty-three older names omitted in the earlier indices are included. Key words: Liverworts, hornworts, index, nomenclature, fossils, new names Introduction Under the auspices of the Early Land Plants Today project, there has been a strong community-driven effort attempting to address the critical need to synthesize the vast nomenclatural, taxonomic and global distributional data for liverworts (Marchantiophyta) and hornworts (Anthocerotophyta) (von Konrat et al. 2010a). These endeavors, building on decades of previous efforts, were critical in providing the foundation to develop a working checklist of liverworts and hornworts worldwide published in 2016 (Söderström et al.

A total of 63 taxa belonging to Bryophyta (22 families 37 genera 44 species), Marchantiophyta (7 families 11 genera 18 species), and Antho- cerotophyta (1 family 1 genus 1 species) were determined, and the liverwort index was 30.2%. The predominant life form was the mat form. The rates of bryophytes dominating in mesic to hygric sites were higher than the bryophytes mainly observed in xeric habitats. These values indicate that such forests are widespread in this study area. Moreover, the rock was the substrate type, which plays a major role in providing micro-habitats for bryophytes. We suggest that more detailed studies of the bryophyte flora should be conducted on a regional scale to provide basic data for selecting indicator species of Gotjawal and evergreen broad-leaved forests on Jejudo Island. Keywords: bryophyte, Aewol Gotjawal, liverwort index, life-form Jejudo Island was formed by volcanic activities and has geological, ecological, and cultural aspects (Jeong et al., 2013; unique topological and geological features.

Tous droits réservés Fast identification method for an allopolyploid liverwort Pellia borealis Lorbeer (Hepaticae, Metzgeriales) Ewa CHUDZI◊SKA*&Ireneusz J. ODRZYKOSKI Department of Genetics, Institute of Experimental Biology, Adam Mickiewicz University, Umultowska 89, 61-614 Pozna¬,Poland (Received 13 February 2009, accepted 22 March 2010) Abstract –Asimple method was described for the identification of an allopolyploid liverwort Pellia borealis based on isozyme analysis. Aperfect correlation was observed between the polyploid chromosome number (n=18) and the fixed heterozygous isoenzyme pattern of two diaphorase loci (DiaA and DiaC) in alarge collection of Pellia epiphylla sensu lato from Polish populations. Therefore, their isozyme pattern may be used as a reliable diagnostic marker, which makes it possible to distinguish between apolyploid and two parental cryptic species from the P. epiphylla complex. Due to the alloploid origin of P. borealis we postulate that the species rank of the taxon should be maintained and geographical distribution revised. Isozyme markers /chromosome number /allopolyploidy / Pellia borealis /Pellia epiphylla complex INTRODUCTION Liverworts from genus Pellia the Epiphyllae section (Schust.) occurs in North America, Europe and Asia (de Sloover &Messe, 1982; Newton, 1986a; Szweykowski et al., 1995; Odrzykoski et al., 1996). Recent studies on genetic variability of this section have provided new evidence supporting ahypothesis of allopolyploid origins of Pellia borealis Lorbeer as aspecies originated by hybridization between two cryptic species from the Pellia epiphylla (L.) Corda complex and subsequent polyploidization (Odrzykoski et al.,1996; Chudzi¬ska et al., 2005; Fiedorow et al.,2001; Pacak &Szweykowska-Kuli¬ska, 2000, 2003).

The early systems of classification were mostly artificial in which the plants were grouped for the sake of convenience based on (observable) evident characters. Carolus Linnaeus (1753) classified
