Radula heinrichsii (Radulaceae, Porellales), a leafy liverwort from the mid-Cretaceous of Myanmar
With ca. 250 extant species, Radula is one of the largest genera of the Porellales and the sole extant genus of the leafy liverwort family Radulaceae, widely distributed around the world. The earliest fossils of Radula were described from the mid-Cretaceous Kachin amber of Myanmar, namely R. cretacea and R. heinrichsii.

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

Transfer of Lejeunea huctumalcensis to Physantholejeunea (Lejeuneaceae, Porellales)
Phylogenetic analyses of a three-marker dataset of Lejeuneaceae (chloroplast genome rbcL gene and trnL–trnF region, and nuclear ribosomal ITS1–5.8S-ITS2 region) resolve Lejeunea huctumalcensis (synonym Ceratolejeunea dussiana) in a well supported lineage with Physantholejeunea portoricensis.

Abstract With more than 300 extant species, Frullaniaceae represent a species-rich clade of the predominantly epiphytic order Porellales, occurring in humid tropical and subtropical forests as well as temperate regions. Earliest fossils of Frullaniaceae are known from mid-Cretaceous Burmese and Alaskan ambers. So far, evidence for four or five fossil
