Abstract

Eight species of liverworts (Cheilolejeunea incisa, Cololejeunea dozyana, Drepanolejeunea dactylophora, Lejeunea mizutanii, Leptolejeunea serrulata, Phaeolejeunea amicorum, Plagiochila sciophila, Spruceanthus thozetianus) are reported as new for New Caledonia. Species endemic to New Caledonia and hitherto only known from one or very few localities were reported from additional localities. Sporophytes of Macromitrium larrainii as well as male plants of Pogonatum neo-caledonicum were found for the first time and are described. Bazzania erosa is excluded from the bryophyte flora of New Caledonia.
