МАМОНТОВ1,2 Abstract A new species of liverwort Lophozia svalbardensis (Marchantiophyta, Jungermanniopsida) col- lected in the Nordaustlandet (Svalbard Archipelago) is described. It is characterized by heteroicous inflorescence, presence of low perigynium, crenulate-ciliate perianth mouth, thick walled cells near perianth mouth; colourless to slightly pinkish red tinged gemmae contrasting in color with red-brown marginal cells of the uppermost leaves, two-layer thick base of leaves. A detailed description including illustrations of the species is given. The phylogenetic position of the species is considered, and mor- phological differences from similar species are discussed. Резюме Новый для науки вид Lophozia svalbardensis (Marchantiophyta, Jungermanniopsida) описан с Северо-Восточной Земли (архипелаг Шпицберген). Вид характеризуется гетерецией, наличием низкого перигиния, городчато-реснитчатым устьем периантия, толстостенными обесцвеченными клетками устья периантия, бесцветными до слегка розоватых выводковыми почками резко контрастирующими с клетками края почко-образующих листьев, двуслойными в основании листьями. Приводится детальное описание и иллюстрации вида, обсуждается его филоге- нетическое положение, даются отличия от похожих видов.

MOLECULAR DATA To reveal the affinity of collected species we imple- mented phylogenetic analyses based on ITS1-2 nrDNA and trnL-F cpDNA. Newly sequenced data were obtained for nine specimens, sequences were taken from our pre- vious studies for 30 specimens (Vilnet et al., 2008, 2010; Bakalin & Vilnet, 2019). The newly produced dataset contains the majority of molecularly studied specimens of the genera Lophozia and Lophoziopsis, a number of other key genera from family Lophoziaceae and Scapa- niaceae; the outgroup was represented by Anastrepta or- cadensis (Hook.) Schiffn. from Anastrophyllaceae. All specimens included in the current study are listed in Appendix 1 with GenBank accession numbers and vouch- er details.

The moss and liverwort flora of Zackenberg valley in the Northeast Greenland National Park has been studied based on field investigations and literature survey. Altogether 212 taxa are recorded in the area� with 43 liverworts and 169 mosses. Five taxa are reported as new to Greenland Lophochaete fryei (Perss.) R.M. Schust.� Sphagnum orientale �.I. Savicz� Orthothecium lapponicum (Schimp.) C. �artm.� Pohlia vexans (�impr.) �. �indb. and Tortella alpicola Dixon. Additionally four taxa are reported as new to east Greenland; Grimmia plagiopodia �edw.� Riccardia latifrons (�indb.) �indb. Sphagnum olafii Flatberg and Tritomaria exsectiformis (Breidl.) Schiffner ex �oeske. The bryophyte flora of the Zackenberg valley is characterised by pioneer species adapted to disturbance by frost and wind� but also more stable communities exist especially at the lower part of the valley with wet to moist tundra. The Zackenberg valley bryophyte flora shows higher similarity with the flora on Svalbard (�1%) compared with Ellesmere Island (67% and 60% for liverworts and mosses� respectively).

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.

    The copyright of this thesis rests with the University of Cape Town. No quotation from it or information derived from it is to be published without full acknowledgement of the source. The thesis is to be used for private study or non-commercial research purposes only. University of Cape Town Addendum (1) Soon after submitting this thesis a more recent comprehensive classification by Crandall-Stotler et al. (2009)1 was published. This recent publication does not undermine the information presented in this thesis. The purpose of including the comprehensive classification of Crandall-Stotler and Stotler (2000) was specifically to introduce some of the issues regarding the troublesome classification of this group of plants. Crandall-Stotler and Stotler (2000), Grolle and Long (2000) for Europe and Macaronesia and Schuster (2002) for Austral Hepaticae represent three previously widely used yet differing opinions regarding Lophoziaceae classification. They thus reflect a useful account of some of the motivation for initiating this project in the first place. (2) Concurrently or soon after chapter 2 was published by de Roo et al. (2007)2 more recent relevant papers were published. These include Heinrichs et al. (2007) already referred to in chapter 4, and notably Vilnet et al. (2008)3 examining the phylogeny and systematics of the genus Lophozia s. str. The plethora of new information regarding taxa included in this thesis is encouraging and with each new publication we gain insight and a clearer understanding these fascinating little plants.

An index of published names of liverworts and hornworts between 2009 and 2010 is provided as part of a continued effort in working toward producing a world checklist of this group. Included in the list are also names overlooked by earlier indices. The list includes 30 higher taxa, 250 species, 52 infraspecific taxa, 31 autonyms, and two fossils for 2009 and 2010. A number of taxa not covered by the earlier indices for 2000-2008 are also included. Key words: Liverworts, hornworts, index, nomenclature 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 endeavours are critical in providing the foundation to develop a working checklist of liverworts and hornworts worldwide; the first version is projected to be published in 2012.

Sudeticae, Barbilophozia sudetica and Oleolophozia perssonii. Key words: Anastrophyllaceae, liverworts, Neoorthocaulis, Oleolophozia, Barbilophozia Introduction The Lophoziaceae has previously been either recognized as a separate family (e.g. Grolle & Long 2000) or placed in the synonymy of Jungermanniaceae (e.g. Damsholt 2002). Recent molecular work (De Roo et al. 2007) has shown that the two are not particularly closely related and that Lophoziaceae should be retained as a separate family. However, molecular data (Schill et al. 2004) also show that the family Scapaniaceae is nested within Lophoziaceae, a pattern confirmed by, inter alia, Yatsentyuk et al. (2004), Davis (2004) and De Roo et al. (2007). Those studies also exclude two elements frequently included in Lophoziaceae in the past— the family Jamesoniellaceae and the genus Leiocolea (Müller 1913: 711) Buch (1933: 288). However, some recent studies (De Roo et al. 2007 and unpublished results by R.
