The leafy liverwort genus Lejeunea (Porellales, Jungermanniopsida) in Miocene Dominican amber [PDF]

open access: yesReview of Palaeobotany and Palynology, 2017
Lejeunea is a morphologically diverse subcosmopolitan genus of predominantly epiphytic leafy liverworts. We describe three Lejeunea fossils preserved in Miocene Dominican amber, Lejeunea hamatiloba sp. nov., L. resinata sp. nov. and L. urbanioides sp. nov., thereby increasing the Lejeunea fossil record to four species.

DNA taxonomy, cryptic speciation and diversification of the Neotropical-African liverwort, Marchesinia brachiata (Lejeuneaceae, Porellales)

open access: yesMolecular Phylogenetics and Evolution, 2009
The Neotropical-African liverwort Marchesinia brachiata has long been regarded as a polymorphic species. This hypothesis is examined using a dataset including sequences of the nuclear internal transcribed spacer region and the plastidic trnL-trnF region of 39 Marchesinia accessions.

Narrow species concepts in the Frullania dilatata–appalachiana–eboracensis complex (Porellales, Jungermanniopsida): evidence from nuclear and chloroplast DNA markers [PDF]

open access: yesPlant Systematics and Evolution, 2010
We investigated the phylogeny of a Holarctic-Asian group of Frullania species, the Frullania dilatata–F. appalachiana–F. eboracensis complex, using multiple accessions of morphologically circumscribed taxa and three molecular markers (nrITS region, cp DNA trnL-F and atpB-rbcL regions).

Molecular insights into the phylogeny and subgeneric classification of Frullania Raddi (Frullaniaceae, Porellales)

Molecular Phylogenetics and Evolution, 2009
With an estimated 300-375 species, Frullania is the largest genus of Porellales and forms a major clade of leafy liverworts. The cosmopolitan genus includes mostly epiphytes and represents an important component of the cryptogamic vegetation in various, especially tropical, habitats.

New species of Lejeunea (Porellales: Lejeuneaceae) from Papua New Guinea

The Bryologist, 2020
Three new species of Lejeunea (Lejeuneaceae) from Papua New Guinea are described and illustrated herein. They are L. heinarii, L. madangensis and L. marginedentata from Morobe, Madang and Sandaun (West Sepik) province, respectively. They were found growing as epiphytes on trees and inhabit the montane forests of the island.

Frullania ignatovii (Porellales, Marchantiophyta) — a new species from Yakutia and Baikal Siberia

Novosti Sistematiki Nizshikh Rastenii, 2013
A new species Frullania ignatovii Sofronova, Mamontov et Potemkin is described and illustrated from the tundra belt of highlands of Yakutia (Republic of Sakha) and Baikal Siberia (Republic of Buryatia and Trans-Baikal Territory), Russia. It was collected оn rocks together with calciphilous bryophytes. It resembles F. amplicrania Steph. known from Japan

Molecular and morphological evidence support the recognition of three genera within Radulaceae (Porellales: Marchantiophyta)

Bryophyte Diversity and Evolution, 2022
The discovery of new fossil bryophytes allows refined estimates of divergence times when the fossils have unambiguous synapomorphies enabling their confident assignment to nodes within molecular phylogenies. We use two fossil Radula species from Cretaceous age Burmese amber to estimate divergence times for Radula. One of these fossils, R.

Integrative taxonomy of Lepidolejeunea (Jungermanniopsida: Porellales): Ocelli allow the recognition of two neglected species

open access: yesTaxon, 2015
Lepidolejeunea is a largely epiphytic, pantropical genus of leafy liverworts. While the phylogenetic position of Lepidolejeunea has been the subject of recent molecular investigations, the relationships within this genus have been little studied.

Frullania pinnata spec. nov. (Frullaniaceae, Porellales), a new leafy liverwort in mid-Cretaceous Burmese amber from Myanmar

open access: yesCretaceous Research, 2017
An inclusion in Cretaceous amber from Myanmar is described as a new fossil species in the extant liverwort genus Frullania. The name Frullania pinnata is proposed for the taxon that is characterized by entire underleaves paired with a conspicuous pinnate branching pattern, two distinctive and stable morphological features.
