Guide to the Liverworts and Hornworts of Java

---

Liverworts and hornworts of Java have been studied since almost two hundred years. The first species lists for Java were published by Reinwardt, Blume & Nees von Esenbeck (1824) and Nees von Esenbeck (1830). Important later authors who published on liverworts and hornworts of Java are van der Sande Lacoste (1857, 1864), Goebel (1888), Schiffner (1893, 1998-1900, 1900, 1900a), Verdoorn (1929, 1930, 1932, 1933, 1934) and Meijer (e.g., 1954a, 1957, 1958a, 1958b, 1959, 1960). The latter author also published several accounts of bryological fieldtrips in West Java (Meijer 1953, 1954b, 1954c, 1955, 1958c). An unfinished Liverwort Flora of Java by V. Schiffner (1900) treating about 125 species appeared in the series Flora de Buitenzorg, with descriptions (but no illustrations) and keys to the thalloid liverworts and some families of the leafy liverworts (Adelanthaceae, Gymnomitriaceae, Jungermanniaceae, Lophocoleaceae, Plagiochilaceae, Scapaniaceae p.p.). Many of the taxonomic names used in this Flora, as well as in the other papers cited here, have changed in the meantime and are no longer in use. A full listing of the synonyms and currently accepted names of liverworts and hornworts of Java is given in Söderström et al. (2010).
After 1960, very little floristic work has been carried out on the liverworts and hornworts of Java, until very recently (e.g., Hasan & Ariyanti 2004, Damayanti 2006, Iskandar 2008, Haerida et al. 2010, Gradstein et al. 2010). However, a large number of taxonomic papers on liverworts and hornworts of Southeast Asia have appeared since 1960, and many of these contain descriptions of species from Java. A listing of these publications is given below.
