Abstract

A hepatic checklist comprising 261 taxa (249 species, 4 subspecies, 6 varieties, and 2 forms) belonging to 73 genera and 33 families is provided, based on all published literature and our recent studies on some specimens. A preliminary overview of the hepatic flora of Zhejiang is discussed. Seven species, Cololejeunea magnipapillosa (Kamim.) Chen & Wu, Lejeunea laetevirens Nees & Mont., Plagiochila asplenioides (L.) Dum., P. baileyana Steph., P. punctata Steph., P. spinulosa (Dicks.) Dum. and P. tecta Inoue & Grolle, were excluded from the hepatic flora of Zhejiang. Lejeunea laetevirens and the Plagiochila species mentioned above were also deleted from the hepatic flora of China. The following are new records for this province: Cololejeunea tenella Bened., Jungermannia subulata Evans, Lejeunea aquatica Horik., L. curriloba Steph., Lophocolea bidentata (L.) Dum., Lopholejeunea nigricans (Lindenb.) Steph., Marsupella pseudofunckii Hatt., M. yakushimensis (Horik.) Hatt., Mylia nuda Inoue & Yang, Plagiochila furcifolia Mitt., P. microdonta Mitt., P. nepalensis (Spreng.) Lehm. & Lindenb., P. yokogurensis Steph., Pleurozia subinflata (Aust.) Aust. and Schiffneria hyalina Steph. Epiphyllous liverworts of Zhejiang are briefly commented. Fifty-five species and one variety of epiphyllous liverworts are known from this province.
