“…The Ecuador has a very rich liverworts flora over 770 species [1][2][3]. Liverworts produce secondary metabolites in abundance [4] with more than 1500 terpenoids and 350 aromatic compounds flavonoids [5][6][7].…”

Volatile metabolites from Frullania brasiliensis Raddi, Herbertus juniperoideus (Sw.) Grolle, Leptoscyphus hexagonus (Nees) Grolle, and Syzygiella anomala (Lindenb. & Gottsche) Steph collected in the south of Ecuador were investigated. Volatile secondary metabolites were extracted by hydrodistillation and analyzed by gas chromatography/flame ionization detector (GC/FID) and Gas chromatography/Mass spectrometry (GC/MS). Sixty-seven volatile compounds were identified in the four species, which represent between 80.12–90.17% of the total chemical composition. The major components were τ-muurolol (32.14%) and Germacrene-D (11.98%) in the essential oil of F. brasiliensis, bicyclogermacrene (18.23%), and Caryophyllene oxide (15.29%) in the oil of H. juniperoideus, Cabreuva oxide D (33.77%) and Elemol (18.55%) in the oil of Leptoscyphus hexagonus, and Silphiperfola-5,7(14)-diene (25.22%) and Caryophyllene oxide (8.98%) in the oil of Syzygiella anomala. This is the first report on volatile compounds for the species Herbertus juniperoideus, Leptoscyphus hexagonus, and Syzygiella anomala.

ABSTRACT. -We present the results of a survey of the liverwort species occurring in a fragment of dense montane ombrophilous forest in Parque Nacional de Boa Nova, located in a transition zone between Caatinga and Atlantic Forest in southwestern Bahia State, Brazil. A total of 126 species distributed among 41 genera and 14 families were found. Sixteen species are reported for the fi rst time from the state of Bahia, while ten species represent new records for the Northeast Region of Brazil. The family Acrobolbaceae E.A. Hodgs and the genus Dicranolejeunea (Spruce) Schiff n.

“…Nevertheless, it has occurred in the Záhorská nížina lowland close to the south-western margin of the Western Carpathains (the Malé Karpaty Mts), the last collection being from 1997 (Janovicová & Kubinská, 2002). In the Puścizna Rękowiań ska fens the species grows semi-aquatically along with P. trifarium Radula mammosa was described from Bolivia and has subsequently been recorded from Colombia, Brazil and Chile (Castle, 1939;Yamada, 1993); more recent records are from southern Ecuador, in the provinces of Zamora-Chinchipe and Loja (Nöske et al, 2003;Schäfer-Verwimp et al, 2013); from Brazil (Yamada, 2003, state of Amazonas;Valente & Pôrto, 2006;Berger & Ribas, 2007;Tavares-Martins et al, 2014, states of Pará, Bahia, Rio de Janeiro and Santa Catarina) and from Venezuela (Morales & Moreno, 2010). The collections from Costa Rica and Guadeloupe constitute a considerable extension of range to Central America and the West Indies.…”

This is a temperate-boreal northern hemisphere species, in tropical regions known only from the East African mountains, and extending down to South Africa (Blockeel et al., 2006c). In East Africa it was first reported [as Neckera complanata (Hedw.) Huebener var. maxima Dixon] from Kenya (Mt Kenya, at 3000 m) by Dixon (1918), and it also occurs in the Taita Hills (Mbololo, at 1650 m) in the SE part of the country (Bytebier & Chuah-Petiot, 2002). It was reported from Tanzania (Mt Meru, at 2375 m) by Blockeel et al. (2003). The South African collections came from much lower altitudes (400 and 450 m). The African specimens reported by Bytebier & Chuah-Petiot (2002), Blockeel et al. (2003, 2006c) were all epiphytic. The present Ugandan specimens were collected on rocks. Altitude (4100 m) is given on only one of the two specimens, but as both were collected the same day, the other one probably comes from an approximately similar altitude. They do not represent Dixon's (1918) var. maxima, as the shoots are less than 5 cm long; in var. maxima they were up to 15 cm long. The leaves in the Ugandan specimens are slightly narrower than is typical for the species, but otherwise the specimens agree well with the rather variable A. complanata.
