A revision of Lepidoziaceae (Hepaticae) in the Russian Far East I. Bazzania

Abstract

The hepatic genus Bazzania is revised for the Russian Far East. Five species are recognized. Two species (B. bidentula and B. japonica) are excluded from the flora. Two species (B. parabidentula and B. manczurica) are described as new to science. The distribution of taxa in the area is much clarified, with descriptions and illustrations based on studied regional material as well as type specimens. The paper is supplemented by a list of specimens examined (from the Russian Far East and adjacent areas) as well as an identification key to taxa.
