“…In addition to the three "old" and well-known species of Pellia, P. epiphylla, neesiana and fabbroniana, a fourth species was recently described by Krajina & Brayshaw (1951 1951-1956, pp. 320-321) divides the suborder Marchantiinae into the "Subordo Caudiciformis" and the "Subordo Quadranticae," based on the nature of the initial divisions the zygote undergoes.…”

American Bryological and Lichenological Society is collaborating with JSTOR to digitize, preserve and extend access to The Bryologist.The absence of any ready means of identifying the genera of North American Hepaticae has limited the development of interest in the group. The keys presented here attempt to satisfy this need. These keys fall into two categories (a) synoptic keys to classes, orders, suborders and families and (b) under each order and/or suborder artificial keys to the genera, if more than one genus is included. The first type of key necessarily represents a synthesis of the most "typical" characters of the various groups, arranged in a systematic fashion. By its very nature, a synoptic key cannot take into account isolated exceptions or deviant taxa. However, such a synoptic key has the advantage of giving some idea of the salient characteristics and limits of the various groups. By contrast, artificial keys are rightly concerned only with the practical problem of identification. In the synoptic keys to families I have indicated, in parentheses, the genera included in each family. Therefore, in cases of doubt, a specimen can be run through both the artificial and synoptic keys, using one key as a check on the other. A number of other pertinent points deserve mention in this connection :(1) 1 have indicated, throughout these keys, various "traps" into which the unwary may fall. Similarly, exceptions to the rule are indicated. In SCHUSTER: ANNOTATED KEY TO HEPATICAE 3 in a variety of places. Unfortunately, the extreme polymorphism of several genera (Plagiochila, Nardia) makes it necessary to key them out two or more times. In such cases, after the generic name, I have indicated this fact either by giving, in parentheses, the species keying out at this point, or, if the species are numerous, by stating "in part."(7) Critical features in the keys are occasionally italicized. In the case of couplets utilizing more than a single pair of characters, the initial opposed characters are to be regarded as the most salient. Cytological characters involving study of living material are, in so far as possible, relegated to a secondary position. It should be recognized, however, that in some groups they afford by far the best and most evident features for separating genera.(8) Several plates, at the end of this treatment, illustrate key characters within the difficult Jungermanniales (and, in a few cases, Metzgeriales). These figures are referred to as, for example, (3:10), meaning fig. 3, individual fig. 10.(9) In the Order Jungermanniales, the largest and by far the most difficult group, identification is often complicated by the fact that the plants lack all trace of sex organ...

“…More species have been described in the 20th century: (4) P. borealis Lorb. (Lorbeer, 1934), a gametophytic allopolyploid diplont of P. epiphylla subgroups (Lorbeer 1934;Odrzykoski & al., 1996;Orzechowska & al., 2006), and (5) P. columbiana Krajina & Brayshaw (Krajina & Brayshaw, 1951), a taxon close to P. neesiana from the northern parts of western North America. Proskauer (1963) re-classified both as synonyms.…”
