Abstract

The new species, Cheilolejeunea hyalomarginata (Lejeuneaceae) from New Caledonia, is described and illustrated. The species is easily distinguished from all other species of Cheilolejeunea by the hyaline denticulate margin of the leaf lobe. Further diagnostic characters include the entire underleaves, the lobular apex connate with 46 lobe cells, and the spinose, unicellular, strongly thick-walled lobular tooth with a very small lumen at the base.
