Biodiversity of anthocerotophyta and marchantiophyta in Mexico

Abstract

There is insufficient floristic information on Mexican hornworts and liverworts, but a preliminary evaluation recognizes 9 species of Anthocerotophyta, including 3 Mexican endemics. There are 592 species and varieties of Mexican Marchantiophyta, including 105 endemic taxa. These preliminary numbers will certainly change with data from recent taxonomic revisions and monographs that contain information on the Mexican flora.
