“…However, it resembles B. scalaris D. Meagher, a species known from Papua New Guinea, in having bilobed leaves, crenulate leaf margins and deeply lobed underleaves. But, it differs from B. scalaris as the latter has widely spreading, subopposite to almost alternate leaves, smooth leaf and underleaf surface and thick-walled leaf cells with strongly nodulose, bulging and often confluent trigones (Meagher 2006).…”

“…Bazzania Gray is one of the leafy liverworts in the family Lepidoziaceae, subfamily Bazzanioidea. Bazzania can be differentiated from the other genera based on morphological features such as terminal branch pseudodichotomous (like a Y-shaped resembles dichotomous branch), long flagelliform branch arising from underleaves and minute leaves resembling scales (microphyll), lateral leaves incubously on the stem, 2-3 toothed leaf apex, a large ventral leaf (amphigastrium= underleaf) (Gradstein et al 2001;Meagher 2006;Cheah and Yong 2016;Gradstein 2017). Identification at the species level in the genus often has difficulty, because of its high variability of morphological characters.…”

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

“…To date species discovery within the Lepidoziaceae, as in most liverwort groups, has proceeded on the basis of morphological data alone (e.g. Schuster 1980Schuster , 2000Schuster & Engel 1987, 1996Renner et al 2006;Meagher 2006Meagher , 2008Meagher , 2011, and molecular data have not yet been specifically applied to species discovery. However, standard practice for phylogeny reconstruction involves representative sampling of species across taxonomic groups ideally including multiple individuals from each species to ensure data quality.…”

Lepidozia bragginsiana, a new species from New Zealand (Marchantiopsida)

Molecular and morphological data support the recognition of a new Lepidozia species related to L. pendulina and also endemic to New Zealand, which we dedicate to Dr John Braggins. Lepidozia bragginsiana can be distinguished from closely related and other similar species by its bipinnate branching, the narrow underleaf lobes, typically uniseriate toward their tip on both primary and secondary shoots, the asymmetric underleaves on primary shoots that are usually narrower than the stem and also possess basal spines and spurs, the production of spurs and spines, or even accessory lobes, on the postical margin of primary and secondary shoot leaves; and by the relatively small leaf cells with evenly thickened walls. Lepidozia bragginsiana is an inhabitant of hyper-humid forest habitats where it occupies elevated microsites on the forest floor. A lectotype is proposed for L. obtusiloba.
