Bazzania Gray (Lepidoziaceae, Marchantiophyta) in Central Java, Indonesia

Abstract

Khotimperwati L, Kasiamdari RS, Santosa, Daryono BS. 2018. Bazzania Gray (Lepidoziaceae, Marchantiophyta) in Central Java, Indonesia. Biodiversitas 19: 875-887. Bazzania has the largest species of the family Lepidoziaceae (Marchantiophyta). This genus is abundant in the moist montane forest. Diversity of Bazzania in Java insufficiently reported, especially publications about its diversity in Central Java have never been reported. Therefore this study aimed to explore the diversity of Bazzania in Central Java. Studies of the Bazzania were based on the specimens collected from three mountains in Central Java, i.e. Mt. Lawu, Mt. Ungaran and Mt. Slamet. The observation in the laboratory was done based on the morphological and anatomical feature of the stem, lateral leaf, underleaves (amphigastria) and microphyll. Identification of the species used the existing literature that contains key identification, description or illustration of the Bazzania. Eleven species of Bazzania were identified from Central Java, namely Bazzania calcarata, B. japonica, B. javanica, B. pectinata, B. praerupta, B. serpentina, B. spiralis, B. tridens, B. fauriana, B. perfalcata and B. succulenta. Three new record species, namely B. fauriana, B. perfalcata and B. succulenta are reported for Java. This result is the first report of Bazzania in part of Central Java

New Records for the Liverwort and Hornwort Flora of Vietnam 2. Bazzania Gray and Some Other Collections of Pierre Tixier in the National Museum of Natural History, France

“…Underleaves distant to contiguous, quadrate, scarcely wider than the stem, in their middle appressed to it and do not have hyaline margin. Distribution: Malesian, widely distributed from Sumatra to Thailand, Luzon and Ambon (Kitagawa 1967; Khotimperwati et al . 2018).…”

“…The most widespread species of Vietnam and of the whole Southeast Asia (Khotimperwati et al . 2018).…”

“…— Pócs 1969: 84-85, figs III-IV; Zhou et al . 2012: 49-50, figs 33-34; Khotimperwati et al . 2018: 886, fig.…”

“…The present Author, in the possession of old and recent area revisions (Evans 1933; Hattori & Mizutani 1958; Kitagawa 1967, 1978, 1979; Mizutani 1967; Pócs 1969; del Rosario 1977; Engel & Glenny 2008; Zhou et al . 2012; Cheah & Yong 2016; Khotimperwati et al . 2018; Siregar et al .…”

Checklist of fossil liverworts suitable for calibrating phylogenetic reconstructions

“…the genus includes ca. 100 extant as well as two fossil species and the taxonomy has been intensively studied in recent years (e.g., Zhou et al 2012, bakalin 2016, Cheah & Yong 2016, gradstein 2017, Khotimperwati et al 2018, Meagher 2019. based on new fossil material we emend the description of B. polyodus (Caspary 1887: 4) grolle (1980a: 188) from baltic and bitterfeld amber, which is well suited as age constraint.…”
