Liverworts /hornworts /index/nomenclature INTRODUCTION Recently,therehasbeen amajorinternationallycoordinated effort to synthesizethe vast amountof nomenclatural,taxonomicaland globaldistribu- tionaldataforliverworts (Marchantiophyta)and hornworts (Anthocerotophyta) (e.g.,Söderström etal., 2008;von Konrat etal., 2008,2009). Theseendeavours are criticalinproviding the foundation todevelop aworking checklist of liverworts and hornworts worldwide. Thisissignificantbecausethe Convention on BiologicalDiversity (CBD)adopted the GlobalStrategyforPlantConservation (GSPC)whichsetthe targetdateof2010tocompleteawidelyaccessible working list of all knownplantspecies(Lughadha, 2004). The criticalneed forthistarget tobeachieved and the implicationsforconservation,taxonomy,and botanical sciencewererecentlyoutlined byPaton etal. (2008).

Pengambilan sampel dilakukan pada bulan Desember 2018 hingga Maret 2019 dengan metode jelajah di sekitar Air Terjun Parangkikis Pagerwojo, Tulungagung. Identifikasi Marchantiophyta dilakukan di Laboratorium IPA Fakultas Tarbiyah dan Ilmu Keguruan IAIN Tulungagung. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa di kawasan Air Terjun Parangkikis terdapat dua kelas, yaitu Marchantiopsida dan Jungermanniopsida. Pada kelas Marchantiopsida hanya terdapat satu ordo, yaitu Marchantiales. Sedangkan pada kelas Jungermanniopsida meliputi tiga ordo yaitu Jungermanniales, Porellales, dan Pallviciniales. Kata kunci- Air Terjun Parangkikis, Keanekaragaman, Marchantiophyta PENDAHULUAN Tumbuhan lumut merupakan salah satu tumbuhan yang memiliki keanekaragaman cukup tinggi. Lumut merupakan kelompok tumbuhan yang berukuran kecil yang tempat tumbuhnya menempel pada berbagai substrat seperti pohon, serasah, kayu mati, kayu lapuk, tanah, maupun bebatuan. Lumut dapat tumbuh pada lingkungan lembab dengan penyinaran yang cukup [1]. Secara ekologis lumut berperan penting di dalam fungsi ekosistem. Tumbuhan lumut dapat digunakan sebagai bioindikator lingkungan yang menentukan lingkungan tersebut masih terjaga dengan baik atau sudah tereksploitasi [2]. Lumut hati dapat berfungsi sebagai bioakumulator logam berat [3] dan inhibitor pertumbuhan protozoa [4]. Air Terjun Parangkikis merupakan salah satu daerah pegunungan di Desa Gambiran Kecamatan Pagerwojo Kabupaten Tulungagung yang kaya dengan berbagai jenis lumut. Namun, penelitian tumbuhan lumut di kawasan tersebut belum banyak dilakukan.

  • Molecular Delimitation of European Leafy Liverworts of the Genus Calypogeia Based on Plastid Super- Barcodes
    Molecular delimitation of European leafy liverworts of the genus Calypogeia based on plastid super- barcodes Monika Ślipiko ( [email protected] ) University of Warmia and Mazury in Olsztyn https://orcid.org/0000-0002-7759-2193 Kamil Myszczyński University of Warmia and Mazury in Olsztyn Katarzyna Buczkowska Adam Mickiewicz University in Poznań Alina Bączkiewicz Adam Mickiewicz University in Poznań Monika Szczecińska University of Warmia and Mazury in Olsztyn Jakub Sawicki University of Warmia and Mazury in Olsztyn Research article Keywords: super-barcoding, DNA barcode, Calypogeia, ndhB, ndhH, trnT-trnL Posted Date: November 22nd, 2019 DOI: https://doi.org/10.21203/rs.2.17612/v1 License: This work is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International License.

Page 1/27 Abstract Background Molecular research revealed that some of the European Calypogeia species described on the basis of morphological criteria are genetically heterogeneous and, in fact, are species complexes. DNA barcoding is already commonly used for correct identication of dicult to determine species, to disclose cryptic species, or detecting new taxa. Among liverworts, some DNA fragments, recommend as universal plant DNA barcodes, cause problems in amplication. Super-barcoding based on genomic data, makes new opportunities in a species identication. Results On the basis of 22 individuals, representing 10 Calypogeia species, plastid genome was tested as a super-barcode. It is not effective in 100%, nonetheless its success of species discrimination (95.45%) is still conspicuous.

COOPER1 & MATT A.M. RENNER2 1Cell Biology and Molecular Genetics, 2107 Bioscience Research building, University of Maryland, College Park, MD 20742-4451, USA 2Royal Botanic Gardens & Domain Trust, Mrs Macquaries Road, Sydney, NSW 2000, Australia (corresponding author: [email protected]) Abstract Molecular and morphological data support the recognition of a new Lepidozia species related to L. pendulina and also endemic to New Zealand, which we dedicate to Dr John Braggins. Lepidozia bragginsiana can be distinguished from closely related and other similar species by its bipinnate branching, the narrow underleaf lobes, typically uniseriate toward their tip on both primary and secondary shoots, the asymmetric underleaves on primary shoots that are usually narrower than the stem and also possess basal spines and spurs, the production of spurs and spines, or even accessory lobes, on the postical margin of primary and secondary shoot leaves; and by the relatively small leaf cells with evenly thickened walls. Lepidozia bragginsiana is an inhabitant of hyper-humid forest habitats where it occupies elevated microsites on the forest floor. A lectotype is proposed for L. obtusiloba. Introduction The Lepidoziaceae Limpricht in Cohn (1877: 310) is perhaps the most comprehensively treated family within Australasian liverworts, having been subject to intensive and ongoing study and revision (e.g. Schuster 1980, 2000; Schuster & Engel 1987, 1996 Engel & Glenny 2008, Engel & Merrill 2004, Engel & Schuster 2001, Cooper et al.

  • Our Present Knowledge of the Bryoflora of United Arab Emirates
    Our present knowledge of the bryoflora of United Arab Emirates Hanaa M. Shabbara and Wagieh El-Saadawi Botany Department, Faculty of Science, Ain Shams University.Cairo-Egypt. E- mail: [email protected] Shabbara H.M. and El-Saadawi W. 2001. Our present knowledge of the bryoflora of United Arab Emirates. Taeckholmia 21(1):173-186. Seventeen, out of 29 mosses, and two hepatics, recently collected from the United Arab Emirates (UAE), are new records for the country and the total number of bryophytes is raised to 61 entities (51 mosses & 10 hepatics). Eight mosses are new records to the whole Arabian Peninsula including three mosses which are new records to South-West Asia. Habitats and distribution of the 31 collected taxa are given together with an artificial key to all recorded mosses. Key words: bryophytes, hepatics, mosses, United Arab Emirates. Introduction Shabbara & El-Saadawi (1999) added 25 new records (one hepatic & 24 mosses) to the relatively small number of bryophytes known from the United Arab Emirates (UAE); which made the total known from this country 42 taxa, (eight hepatics and 34 mosses, El- Saadawi & Shabbara 2000). This represented then a good contribution to the bryoflora of that area of the Arabian Peninsula (which was till quite recently almost unknown bryofloristically) and was the result of collecting specimens from sites in Hajjar Mountains that were not explored earlier by other workers (cf. Shabbara & El-Saadaawi, 1999). The present paper reports a considerable number of new records to the bryoflora of the United Arab Emirates as a result of recent collections (Feb.2001), from sites in Ru’us Al-Jibal (=heads of mountains.) and Gebel (=mountain) Hafit (Fig.1) that were not explored earlier.

NADEZDA A. KONSTANTINOVA1 & ANNA A. VILNET1 1Polar-Alpine Botanical Garden–Institute RAS, 184256, Kirovsk, Russia, email: [email protected], [email protected] Abstract The new species Jungermannia calcicola Konstant. et Vilnet, is described based on a critical reinvestigation of morphologi- cal features and molecular analyses of trnL–trnF and trnG intron cpDNA sequences of forty samples of Jungermannia s. str. The new species is described and illustrated as well as noting its differentiation from allied species and distribution patterns. New data on some taxonomical ambiguities and on the taxa delimitation in the Jungermannia s. str. are discussed. Key words: Jungermannia calcicola sp. nov., liverworts, taxonomy, molecular systematics, distribution Introduction Jungermannia Linnaeus (1753: 1131) is one of the oldest described genera of leafy liverworts. Since its description the treatment of this genus has been drastically changed. At the end of the 20th to the beginning of the 21st centuries most bryologists accepted Jungermannia in the wide sense including Solenostoma Mitten (1865a: 51), Plectocolea (Mitten 1865b: 156) Mitten (1873: 405), Liochlaena Nees in Gottsche et al. (1845: 150). But in recent molecular phylogenetic studies Jungermannia s. lat. has been proved to be a mixture of phylogenetically unrelated taxa, some of which have been elevated to distinct families, e.g., Solenostomataceae Stotler et Crand.-Stotl.

  • A Study of Branching Patterns in Bazzania (Jungermanniales, Lepidoziaceae)
    Polish Botanical Journal 58(2): 481–489, 2013 DOI: 10.2478/pbj-2013-0042 A STUDY OF BRANCHING PATTERNS IN BAZZANIA (JUNGERMANNIALES, LEPIDOZIACEAE) DAVI D MEAGHER Abstract. Branching patterns in the leafy liverwort genus Bazzania Gray were investigated in twenty-five Australasian species. Terminal branching was found to be neither consistently sinistrorse nor consistently dextrorse, and neither consistently homodromous nor consistently antidromous. Microphyllous ventral-intercalary branches arising from stems usually have ‘siblings’ arising from main branches. The production of leafy ventral-intercalary branches is not necessarily associated with the termination of stems or main branches. These results are contrary to previous ideas about branching in Bazzania.

The Virunga Volcanoes and their altitudinal zonation The Virunga Volcanoes are situated on the borders of D.R. Congo, Uganda and Rwanda. Mt. Karisimbi, at 4507 m, is the highest peak in Rwanda. From 2700 to 3000 m, a secondary Dombeya-forest with scattered Hagenia is developed, followed by a Hagenia-Hypericum belt from 3000 to 3300 m, where large epiphytic moss cushions of Antitricha kilimandscharica, Plicanthus giganteus and Plagiochila colorans are found (Fig. 7, 8). On the saddle of Karisimbi at 3400 m, a moorland with the giant groundsel Dendrosenecio erici-rosenii and Erica johnstonii occurs. Around Lake Muderi and in the crater of Mt. Gahinga, a Sphagnum peat bog with Carex runssorensis is developed (Fig. 12, 13). Above 3400 m, a Dendrosenecio erici-rosenii-Hypericum revolutum subparamo can be observed. The paramo can be divided into two types: the Dendrosenecio erici-rosenii-Lobelia stuhlmannii-paramo from 3600 to 3900 m, and the Dendrosenecio erici-rosenii-Lobelia wollastoni- paramo from 3900 to 4200 m (Fig. 11). Above 4200 m, no giant groundsels are found, and nearly pure meadows of Alchemilla johnstonii are developed (Fig. 14). The summit at 4500 m is covered by an alpine desert, where bryophytes and lichens dominate (Fig.

  • About the Book the Format Acknowledgments
    About the Book For more than ten years I have been working on a book on bryophyte ecology and was joined by Heinjo During, who has been very helpful in critiquing multiple versions of the chapters. But as the book progressed, the field of bryophyte ecology progressed faster. No chapter ever seemed to stay finished, hence the decision to publish online. Furthermore, rather than being a textbook, it is evolving into an encyclopedia that would be at least three volumes. Having reached the age when I could retire whenever I wanted to, I no longer needed be so concerned with the publish or perish paradigm. In keeping with the sharing nature of bryologists, and the need to educate the non-bryologists about the nature and role of bryophytes in the ecosystem, it seemed my personal goals could best be accomplished by publishing online. This has several advantages for me. I can choose the format I want, I can include lots of color images, and I can post chapters or parts of chapters as I complete them and update later if I find it important. Throughout the book I have posed questions. I have even attempt to offer hypotheses for many of these. It is my hope that these questions and hypotheses will inspire students of all ages to attempt to answer these. Some are simple and could even be done by elementary school children. Others are suitable for undergraduate projects. And some will take lifelong work or a large team of researchers around the world. Have fun with them! The Format The decision to publish Bryophyte Ecology as an ebook occurred after I had a publisher, and I am sure I have not thought of all the complexities of publishing as I complete things, rather than in the order of the planned organization.

Singh (singh_drdk@rediffmail. com), Botanical Survey of India, CGO Complex, 3rd MSO Building, F Block (5th Floor), Salt Lake Sector I, Kolkata – 700 064, India. Herbertus ramosus (Steph.) H.A.Mill. and H. sendtneri (Nees) Lindb. are described and illustrated from West Siang District of Arunachal Pradesh in the eastern Himalaya, India. This constitutes the first record ofH. ramosus in Indian bryoflora. It is easily distinguished from hitherto known Indian species of the genus by orange brown plants having falcate leaves with acute leaf lobes 23–40 cells wide at base, up to 8 cells uniseriate towards apex, strongly expanded basal leaf lamina on dorsal side, and strong grooved vitta. Identification key to the Indian species of the genus is provided and its distribution in the country is discussed. The genus Herbertus Gray is represented in India by presence of three species and one subspecies of the genus eight species and one subspecies, viz. H. aduncus (Dicks.) Herbertus in Arunachal Pradesh, viz. H. aduncus subsp. Gray subsp. aduncus, H. armitanus (Steph.)
