Based on the Philippine Collections Made by Dr. and Mrs. A. J. Sharp and Dr J Hattori Bot. Lab. No. 100: 89- 99 (Aug. 2006) TAXONOMICAL STUDIES OF THE FAMILY ANEURACEAE (HEPATICAE) BASED ON THE PHILIPPINE COLLECTIONS MADE BY DR. AND MRS. A. J. SHARP AND DR. Z. IWATSUKI TATSUWO FURUKI' ABSTRACT. The family Aneuraceae (Hepaticae) based on the Philippines collections made by Dr. and Mrs. A. 1. Sharp and Dr. Z. Iwatsuki was taxonomically studied. Twenty species and three genera are recognized. Among them twelve species are new additions to the known hepatic flora of the Philippines and two species are described as new to science: R. magnicellularis Furuki and Riccardia philippinensis Furuki. Lobaririccrdia coronopus (Steph.) Furuki is a new combination. Riccardia ri­ dleyi Schiffn. is reduced to a synonym of Riccardia elata Schiffn. KEy WORDS: Aneruraceae, Philippines, liverworts, taxonomy. INTRODUCTION The Aneruaceae (Hepaticae) have been little known for its species in the Philippines. I studied the Philippines collections of this family made by Dr. and Mrs. A. 1. Sharp and Dr. Z. Iwatsuki in 1965. All the specimens cited below are kept in herb. NICH and TENN. 1. Aneura kaguaensis Hewson, Proc. Linn. Soc. New South Wales 94: 173, 1970. Specimens examined: Negros Is. Mt. Canlaon, 500-1700 m, Z. Iwatsuki & A. 1. Sharp 14471, 16521. Habitat: On fallen logs in lowland. Distribution: Philippine, New Guinea, Caroline and Vanuatu (cf. Hewson 1970a, Proskauer 1971, Furuki 2002). New to the Philippines. This species is easily distinguished by the presence of pluricellular gemmae with stalk from gemmiferous shoots. 2. Aneura pinguis (L) Dumort., Comm, Bot.: 115, 1822. Specimens examined: Luzon Is. Mt. Data, mossy forest, 2100-2600 m, Z. Iwatsuki, A. 1. Sharp & E. Sharp 14787. Negros Is. Mt. Canlaon, 2450-1700 m, Z. Iwatsuki & A. 1. Sharp 14670. Habitat: On decaying logs in mossy forest. Distribution: Worldwide (cf. Furuki 1991). New to the Philippines. This species is characterized by (1) large fleshy thalli, (2) light green thalli when fresh, deep brown in dry herbarium specimen, (3) sparingly branched thalli, (4) narrow wing of thallus (less than 4 cells wide), (5) fringed scale-like paraphyses, and (6) dioicous plants. It is closely allied to Aneura maxima, the distinction is given under the latter.

Aneura maxima (Schiffn.) Steph., Spec. Hepat. 1: 270, 1899. Specimens examined: Luzon Is. Mt. Data, 2100- 2300 m, Z. Iwatsuki, A. J. Sharp & E. Sharp 13819b, 14721 ; Mt. Banahao, Z. Iwatsuki, A. J. Sharp & E. Sharp 13517, 14102a. Habitat: On decaying logs in mossy forest. Distribution: India, Nepal, China, Japan, Philippines, Sumatra, Java, New Caledonia, Vanuatu and N. America (cf. Hurlimann 1976, Furuki 1991 , Furuki & Higuchi 1995, 2002). New to the Philippines. This species is characterized by (1) large fleshy thalli, (2) deep green thalli when fresh, pale brown in dry herbarium specimen, (3) sparingly branched thalli, (4) wide wing of thallus (mostly 3- 8 cells wide), (5) long hair like paraphyses, and (6) dioicous plants. It is closely allied to Aneura pinguis in having sparingly branched, large, flesh thalli; however, it differs from the latter by the color of thalli, width of wing, and paraphyses. The thalli of A. maxima are deep green when fresh and pale brown after drying, whereas those of A. pin­ guis are light green when fresh, and deep brown after drying. The width of wing of branch­ es are 3- 8 cells for A. maxima, but less than 4 cells for A. pinguis. 4. Lobatiriccardia coronopus (De Not.)

Habitat: On rocks and fallen logs at the waterside. Distribution: Philippines, Malay Peninsula, Borneo, Sumatra, Java, Seram and New Guinea (cf. Furuki 1996). Furuki (1996) studied Lobariccardia lobata in Southeast Asia, and Aneura coronopus was reduced as a synonym of it; however, coronopus is the earliest legitimate epithet. This genus is similar to the genus Aneura; however, it can differ from the latter by the characters of sporophytes (Furuki 1991). If they are sterile condition, this genus is easily recognized by its pinnately branched thalli, incurved margin of thallus, and numerous rhi­ zoids on ventral surface of thallus, lacking only along margin. 5. Riccardia albomarginata (Steph.) Schiffn., Consp. Hep. Archip. Ind.: 53, 1898. Specimen examined: Luzon Is. Mt. Pulog, 2200-2700 m, Z. Iwatsuki & A. J. Sharp la. Habitat: On trunks of tree in mossy forest. Distribution: Philippines, Borneo, Java, New Guinea and Vanuatu (cf. Furuki 1995, 2002). This species was revised by Furuki (1995), in which it was reported from the Philip­ pines based on this collection. This species can be easily distinguished by the enlarged marginal and ventral cells of the thallus with thick walls from others of the genus, except R. canaliculata. This species differs from R. canaliculata by its dioicous sexual conditions, T. FURUKl: The family Aneuraceae based on the philippine collections 91 whereas R. canaliculata is monoicous (Furuki 1995). 6. Riccardia canaliculata (Nees) Kuntze, Revis. Gen. PI. 2: 838, 189l.

Distribution: Sri Lanka, Philippines, Sumatra, Java, New Guinea and New Caledonia (cf. Furuki 1995). Furuki (1995) reported this species from the Philippines based on this collection. This species is closely allied to R. albomarginata, the distinction is given under the latter. 7. Riccardia crassiretis Schiffn., Denkschr. Kaiserl. Akad. Wiss., Math.-Naturwiss. KI. 67: 173, 1898. Specimen examined: Luzon Is. Mt. Banahao, 800-1250 m, Z. Iwatsuki, A. J. Sharp & E. Sharp 16037. Habitat: On soil and rocks at the waterside. Distribution: Philippines, Malay Peninsula, Borneo, Sumatra and Java (cf. Furuki 2001). Furuki (2001) reported this species from the Philippines based on this collection. This species is characterized by (1) small to medium thalli, (2) weakly tumid margin of thallus, (3) 2- 7 cells wide wings of thallus, (4) thick-walled cells of thallus, (5) 4-5 cells thick branches, (6) mucilage hairs on both ventral and dorsal surfaces of thallus, and (7) dioicous plants. 8.

Distribution: Japan, Philippines, Malay Peninsula, Borneo, Sumatra, Java, New Guinea, Aus­ tralia, New Caledonia, Melanesia, New Zealand and South America (cf. Hewson 1970b, Hassel de Menendez 1972, Hiirlimann 1976, Miller et al. 1983, Brown & Braggins 1989, Furuki 1991 , 2002). This species was described in details by Hiisell de Menendez (1972), Brown & Brag­ gins (1989) and Furuki (1991). It can be easily recognized by the striately verrucose sur­ face of thallus. 9. Riccardia dimimuta Schiffn., Denkschr. Kaiserl. Akad. Wiss., Math.-Naturwiss. Kl. 67: 170, 1898. Specimens examined: Luzon Is. Mt. Banahao, 1250-2000m, Z. Iwatsuki, A. 1. Sharp & E.

This species is characterized by (1) medium thalli, (2) erect cylindrical axes, (3) 2- 3 cells wide wing of ultimate branches, and (4) dioicous plant. It is closely allied to Riccar­ dia elata in having erect cylindrical axes and thin branches. R. elata differs from this species by its large plant -and 4- 5 cells wide wing on ultimate branches. 92 1. Hattori Bot. Lab. No. lOO 2 0 0 6 10. Riccardia graeffei (Steph.) Hewson, Proc. Linn. Soc.

This unusual liverwort is the only known parasitic seedless land plant with a completely nonphotosynthetic life history. The complete plastid genome of A. mirabilis was sequenced to examine the effect of its nonphotosynthetic life history on plastid genome content. Using a partial genomic fosmid library approach, the genome was sequenced and shown to be 108,007 bp with a structure typical of green plant plastids. Comparisons were made with the plastid genome of Marchantia polymorpha, the only other liverwort plastid sequence available. All ndh genes are either absent or pseudogenes. Five of 15 psb genes are pseudogenes, as are 2 of 6 psa genes and 2 of 6 pet genes. Pseudogenes of cysA, cysT, ccsA, and ycf3 were also detected. The remaining complement of genes present in M. polymorpha is present in the plastid of A. mirabilis with intact open reading frames. All pseudogenes and gene losses co-occur with losses detected in the plastid of the parasitic angiosperm Epifagus virginiana, though the latter has functional gene losses not found in A.

O. Box 299, St. Louis, MO 63166–0299 U.S.A.; [email protected] Abstract A widely accessible list of known plant species is a fundamental requirement for plant conservation and has vast applications. 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.

These partnerships are thought to have propelled plant terrestrialisation some 500 million years ago and today they play major roles in ecosystem functioning. It has long been known that bryophytes harbour, in their living tissues, fungal symbionts, recently identified as belonging to the three mycorrhizal fungal lineages Glomeromycotina, Ascomycota and Basidiomycota. Latest advances in understanding of fungal associations in bryophytes have been largely driven by the discovery, nearly a decade ago, that early divergent liverwort clades, including the most basal Haplomitriopsida, and some hornworts, engage with a wider repertoire of fungal symbionts than previously thought, including endogonaceous members of the ancient sub-phylum Mucoromycotina.

With 280 accepted species, the genus Riccardia S.F.Gray (Aneuraceae) is one of the most speciose genera of simple thalloid liverworts. The current classifi cation of this genus is based on morphological and limited-sampling molecular studies. Very few molecular data are available and a comprehensive view of evolutionary relationships within the genus is still lacking. A phylogeny focusing on relationships within the large genus Riccardia has not been conducted. Here we propose the fi rst worldwide molecular phylogeny of the genus Riccardia, based on Bayesian inference and parsimony ratchet analyses of sequences from three plastid regions (psbA-trnH, rps4, trnL-F).

In addition, 32 species are doubtful records of New Caledonia and 52 species are excluded. The hepatic flora of New Caledonia is more similar to that of Indomalesia than of Australasia, which may be explained by the predominantly tropical climate of New Caledonia. The composition of the flora is considered the result of a long history of dispersal and speciation events since 37 Ma. Endemism of liverworts and hornworts of New Caledonia is between 13% (confirmed endemics, treated in recent revision or monographs) and 39% (confirmed and potential endemics). The latter figure is the same as for mosses. One genus of liverworts, Meinungeria (Lepidoziaceae), is endemic to New Caledonia. Cheilolejeunea xanthocarpa, Mastigolejeunea indica and Microlejeunea lunulatiloba are reported as new to New Caledonia. The new name Cololejeunea aurantia (Tixier) Thouvenot comb.

  • (Aneuraceae, Hepaticopsida) in the Iberian Peninsula
    J Hallori Bot. Lab. No. 97: 309- 3J6 (Jan. 2(05) MODELLING THE DISTRIBUTION OF CRYPTOTHALLUS MlRABILIS MALMB. (ANEURACEAE, HEPATICOPSIDA) IN THE IBERIAN PENINSULA CECIUA SERGIO', DAVID DRAPER2 AND CE:SAR GARCIA' ABSTRACT . Cryptothallus mirabilis Malmb. exhibits a specialised ecology and is a non-photosyn­ thetic Iiverwort. This species was first described for Scandinavia and till now was considered a north oceanic species. The discoveries of C. mirabilis in different localities in Portugal are the first reliable records of the species in southern Europe and represent an extension of its geographical range. [n fact, in Portugal C. mirabilis does not seem to be rare in areas with oceanic influence, mainly in wet forestry habitats. It is possibly widespread in the Iberian Peninsula because it is easily overlooked owing to its subterranean growth. The objective of this work is to give new localities which con­ tribute to an evaluation of its ecological requirements, to the definition of its biogeographical distrib­ ution in Portugal, and to present a predictive map for the Iberian Peninsula. The aim of the model is to identify the distribution pattern and also some potential places of occurrence in Spain and provide information about the environmental range of the species in order to improve actions for conserva­ tion. K EY WORDS: Cryptothallus mirabilis, ecology, predictive map, conservation, Iberian Peninsula INTRODUCTION The discoveries of Cryptothallus mirabilis Malmb. in Portugal (Sergio & Seneca 1997, Sergio & Garcia 1999) are the first reliable records of the species in southern Europe and represent an important extension of its geographic range. At that time, owing to our limited experience of the ecology of this species, the dis­ covery of C.
