Abstract

The subgenus Chondriolejeunea of genus Cololejeunea previously containing 2 species and I variety, is distributed in Borneo, Malaya, New Guinea and Thailand. A new subspecies from Yunnan, China, Cololejeunea shimizui N. Kitag. subsp. shihuishanensis is described and illustrated. It primarily differs from other members of the subgenus in the absence of spinose cells at the margin of leaf lobe. A key to all known taxa of this subgenus is provided and a distribution map of taxa of this subgenus is also presented with a new record of C. pseudostipulata from New Caledonia.
