A working checklist of accepted taxa worldwide is vital in achieving the goal developing an online flora all known plants by 2020 as part Global Strategy for Plant Conservation. We here present first-ever liverworts (Marchantiophyta) and hornworts (Anthocerotophyta) that includes 7486 species 398 genera representing 92 families from two phyla. The has far reaching implications applications, including providing a valuable tool taxonomists systematists, analyzing phytogeographic diversity...
The phylogenetic relationships of liverworts were reconstructed using the sequence data four genome regions including rbcL, rps4 and trnL-F chloroplast 26S large subunit ribosomal rRNA gene nucleus, 90 characters morphological, ultrastructural developmental aspects. taxa sampled consisted 159 species 135 (108 genera, 54 families 29 suborders), 13 mosses, two hornworts, seven vascular plants charophyte algae. Analyses based on maximum parsimony both direct optimization (POY) static alignment...
Abstract Bryophytes blanket the floor of temperate rainforests in New Zealand and may influence a number important ecosystem processes, including carbon cycling. Their contribution to forest exchange was determined mature, undisturbed podocarp‐broadleaved Zealand, dominated by 100–400‐year‐old rimu ( Dacrydium cupressimum ) trees. Eight species mosses 13 liverworts contributed 62% cover diverse community. The bryophyte community developed relatively thin (depth <30 mm), but dense, canopy...
Abstract Nine species are reported as additional or newly substantiated fully naturalised records for the flora of New Zealand during 2‐year period 1997–1998. Notable additions invasive Eupatorium cannabinum and Acacia sophorae, which well established in Wanganui area, Myricaria germanica is relatively common along parts Waimakariri River, Canterbury. Thirty‐seven species, including two ferns, considered to be new casual plants. Thirty‐eight that were previously known from few collections...
Abstract Analyses of ITS sequences Australasian Gnaphalieae reveal at least six distinct lineages in New Zealand. Our results suggest that the Zealand species Craspedia form a monophyletic group, which originated Australia. The stoloniferous Euchiton are clearly separated from non‐stoloniferous species. They not closely related to any other gnaphalioid taxon. Australian Ewartia polyphyletic group and sole species, sinclairii. An almost endemic Glade consists currently included Anaphalioides,...
Abstract Aim The cosmopolitan genus Herbertus is notorious for having a difficult taxonomy and the fact that there limited knowledge of species ranges relationships. Topologies generated from variable molecular markers are used to discuss biogeographical patterns in compare them with geological history continents outcomes reported other land plants. Location Africa, Asia, Azores, Europe, southern South America, northern North New Zealand. Methods Phylogenetic analyses nuclear ribosomal...
Recent field surveys of the flora Niue have identified three new species records for island. Erigeron bellioides DC. (Asteraceae) and Psidium cattleyanum Sabine (Myrtaceae) are naturalised Crepidomanes saxifragoides (C.Presl) P.S.Green (Hymenophyllaceae) is an addition to indigenous flora. a genus Niue. Information provided each these on their biostatus, collections, distribution habitats. known from several locations that provide access sea chasm walks where it mostly occupies disturbed...
Abstract Previous work on Gentianella and related genera is reviewed, particularly the taxonomic history of New Zealand gentians their generic placement. Phylogenetic analysis DNA sequences shows belong in Gentianella. The recently described Australasian genus Chionogentias preceded by earlier names applied to South American species that a Southern Hemisphere clade. Thirty are recognised, including seven new (G. angustifolia, G. calcis, decum‐bens, luteoalba, impressinervia, scopulo‐rum,...
Abstract Six taxa are reported as additional or newly substantiated naturalised records for the weed flora of New Zealand during 3‐year period 1994–1996. Thirty‐six species considered to be new casual adventive plants. Eleven that were previously poorly known given extended distributions. Most in Fabaceae (6).

Abstract This study describes the flora and vegetation of pakihi land (mostly rush-fernland) surrounding in North Westland. work is a prerequisite for determining degree to which reserve system represents diversity vegetation, will aid management. Thirty five areas seven Ecological Districts were sampled using non-area plots. Soil profile features recorded from auger samples soil pits. Leptospermum scoparium stem ages densities recorded. Floristic data analysed TWINSPAN DECORANA. Twelve plot...
The monotypic genus Perssoniella with P. vitreocincta Herzog, endemic to New Caledonia, possesses a series of unique morphological characters and it has been assumed that the genus, assigned family Perssoniellaceae suborder Perssoniellineae, is very isolated but sister Schistochilaceae. systematic identity was studied using DNA sequence data for chloroplast rbcL, rps4 trnL-F regions. Our analyses placed within Schistochilaceae, Schistochila itself, strong support. It suggests retaining as an...
DNA sequence results show that Amphilophocolea, a monotypic genus endemic to New Zealand, is nested within Heteroscyphus. A morphological examination of specimens agree with the protologue shows it be identical Heteroscyphus knightii. cymbaliferus in analyses sister clade consisting rest Heteroscyphus, and monophyletic Chiloscyphus Lamelocolea, suggests Tetracymbaliella should reinstated. Lamellocolea not included either or trees derived from data, but its position as obtained Bayesian...
A new liverwort species from Western Nelson Ecological Province of New Zealand known a single sterile specimen is described. It unusual in having well-developed stem paraphyllia, and the leaves underleaves are divided with three levels ciliate division pinnate manner. This morphology suggested membership Trichocoleaceae or Trichotemnomaceae, but other features plant made placement either family seem unnatural. We determined its position by conducting phylogenetic analyses rbcL, rps4 trnL–F...
On the basis of variation in molecular sequence data and morphology, three species are recognised within Dinckleria. The generitype D. pleurata is widespread Tasmania New Zealand has outlier populations Victoria, rainforests around South Wales–Queensland border. Dinckleria fruticella endemic to Zealand, records this from Queensland based on misidentifications. Malesian Plagiochila singularis transferred Dinckleria, newly reported for Australia Vanuatu. In Australia, known by two collections,...
Abstract A tree based on DNA sequences from the ITS region of rDNA New Zealand members tribe Gnaphalieae is presented. The supports recognition genus Anaphalioides. closest relatives this are other gnaphalioid genera: Leucogenes, Raoulia, Ewartia, and species currently assigned to Helichrysum. suggests that there were at least four dispersal events ancestors present flora. provides information relationships genera in Gnaphalieae: Ewartiothamnus (Ewartia sinclairii) not a sister Leucogenes...
Abstract The threat status of New Zealand's bryophytes (currently 13 hornwort species, 608 liverwort species and 520 moss species) has been re-evaluated, using revised Zealand Threat Classification System criteria. Threatened or uncommon applied to 269 taxa (c. 24% the total number 25 entities that are either described but disputed undescribed. No known be extinct. Forty-one listed as (26 Nationally Critical, 9 Endangered 6 Vulnerable). One hundred thirty-six At Risk, including 122 Naturally...
Abstract Evidence from floral morphology, cytology, and hybridism is used to establish the monophyly limits of genus Anaphalioides. A key descriptions seven species (five in New Zealand, two Guinea) making up are given. combinations made Anaphalioides alpina A. bellidioides (both Zealand) mariae papuana Guinea). keriensis trinervis treated as a single variable species. Other Zealand subrigida hookeri.
