Abstract. The distribution by country or other geopolitical area is provided for each of the 1071 liverwort and 

hornwort taxa currently accepted in sub-Saharan Africa (i.e. Index Muscorum regions Afr 2, Afr 3 and Afr 4, 

excluding the part of Afr 4 to the south of South Africa). All country records are supported by at least one literature 

reference, and the number of taxa recorded for each country is given. The 1992 synonyms with their 

owning taxa are intercalated alphabetically in the list. 

Introduction 

Catalogues of the Hepaticae and Anthocerotae have been published for the East African Islands 

(Grolle, 1995 (1)) and for the rest of sub-Saharan Africa, including Atlantic Ocean islands and Socotra 

(Wigginton & Grolle 1996 (2)). A similar checklist of the bryophytes of North Africa was published 

by Ros et al. 1999 (3). These catalogues and checklist sought to bring together all published records of 

liverworts for these regions, and provided for each accepted taxon at least one literature reference for 

each of the countries in which it had been recorded. Together they summarised current knowledge of 

the distribution of liverworts throughout the continent. 

Since the publication of the East African Islands (1) and sub-Saharan African (2) catalogues, a considerable 

bulk of new data on the liverworts of these regions has been published, and this has provided 

the stimulus to produce a new checklist. Clearly, this checklist is not a substitute for (1) and (2): those 

publications contain much additional information and should be consulted for details of synonymy and 

literature sources for country records. Grolle 1995 (1) in addition provides essential notes on selected 

genera and on many excluded taxa. 

The area covered by this checklist includes all of the Index Muscorum regions Afr 2, Afr 3 and Afr 4, 

except for the following areas: 

1) the part of Afr 4 which lies to the south of the African mainland (south of latitude 35°S). This area 

encompasses cool-temperate and subantarctic islands from St. Paul and Amsterdam islands in the 

southern Indian Ocean to the Tristan da Cunha group in the southern Atlantic, all of whose floristic 

affinities are antipodal rather than African. A catalogue of the liverworts of this area, except the Tristan 

da Cunha group, was published in Grolle (2002). 

2) Western Sahara, whose floristic affinities are North African. There are, however, no bryophytes 

recorded from that geographical region (Ros et al. 1999). 

Catalogues (1) and (2) have provided the main basis for the present checklist, and most country records 

are referred to those publications, which should be consulted for details of primary literature. In 

the few years since the catalogues appeared, many new publications have provided additional country 

records, and new taxa and synonymy, the latter being listed in Appendix 1. Also incorporated in this 

checklist are: 

a) the correction of errors, including some authorities of names, which remained undetected prior to 

the publication of (2), and the inclusion of some country records from overlooked literature, 

b) the reassignment of taxa which were placed in (2) in the genera Aneura, Aspiromitus, Anthoceros, 

Fimbriaria, Hygrolejeunea, Madotheca, Schisma and Strepsilejeunea,

2 M. J. WIGGINTON 

c) the reassignment of some records to Eritrea or Ethiopia following the re-checking of the geographical 

locations of places cited in (121, 502). 

In sub-Saharan Africa, including the islands, 1071 taxa (1029 species and 47 additional taxa of lower 

rank) are currently accepted in 146 genera and 47 families of the Marchantiopsida and Anthocerotopsida. 

One family (Wiesnerellaceae), 8 genera (Allisoniella, Bryopteris, Geocalyx, Metalejeunea, 

Otolejeunea, Symbiezidium, Wiesnerella, Xylolejeunea) and 207 species or lower rank taxa have been 

recorded in Africa only from the East African Islands. 

The list of currently accepted taxa excludes those which have been placed in synonymy or have been 

published as 'Dubia', 'Excludenda' or 'Dubia. Indeterminate', but does include many taxa which have 

been insufficiently studied (or perhaps not re-examined since first described - which may be in the 

19th century), and a few of somewhat doubtful occurrence in Africa. It seems likely that at least some 

of the latter will eventually be placed in synonymy or rejected for other reasons. Insufficiently studied 

taxa are not differentiated in this checklist, and reference should be made to (1) and (2) for further information. 

Data for the checklist are held on the TAXA system (541), and the main taxon distribution list was 

generated directly from TAXA. The format of this checklist follows that established by O'Shea (171, 

540) for the Checklist of the mosses of sub-Saharan Africa, and subsequently adopted by Ros et al. (3) 

for the Bryophyte checklist of Northern Africa. 

The checklist is not a taxonomic document, and no new taxonomy is published here: it is merely a 

summation of published records. In its compilation, no judgements have been made by the author on 

the validity of taxa, or on the acceptability of regional records. Despite checking and re-checking, 

some errors doubtless remain undetected in this document, and literature overlooked, and the author 

would be very grateful to know of any of these. 

This checklist is published both as a printed version and an electronic version (via 

http://www.tropicalbryologyresearch.co.uk/) in order to make it as widely available as possible. It is 

intended that further editions will be published in the same way at intervals of a few years. 

Changes in edition 2 

1. The full genus name is given for all 'owners' of synonyms. 

2. In response to feedback on edition 1, a literature source is now provided for synonyms. The literature 

reference numbers that refer to source literature are placed in round brackets following the 

name of the owning taxon. 

For heterotypic synonyms, underlined literature reference numbers indicate the sources where the 

synonymy was first published, or where first publication seems a reasonable assumption. However, 

since 'syn. nov' is not stated in much of the earlier literature, there are probably some errors, particularly 

where the synonymy was first published in the nineteenth century. Where the place of first 

synonymy is unclear or I have not yet discovered it, the lit. ref. number is not underlined. Reference 

to early synonymy is sometimes supported by an additional reference (e.g. (973, 471) indicates 

that the synonym was first published in Mitten 1886, and the synonymy is accepted in 

Grolle's 1963 revision). 

For homotypic synonyms, no attempt has been made to find the earliest source, and the literature 

reference numbers for such synonyms are not underlined. 

3. Additional notes are added for some taxa. 

4. Changes since edition 1 are listed in Appendix 1. 

I should be most grateful to know of any errors in this list, and would welcome suggestions for things 

that could be useful in future editions. Comments please to M.J.Wigginton@btinternet.com 

Under consideration for the next edition is the inclusion of summary data on world distributions of 

sub-Saharan taxa that occur outside the continent.

Synopsis of families and genera 

Families are arranged alphabetically within each Order. The placement of genera closely follows 

Grolle 1983a (421), except for the Lejeuneaceae which follows Gradstein 1994 (122). The 1071 taxa 

are assigned to 146 genera in 47 families. The numbers in brackets against each genus indicate the 

number of taxa currently accepted within the genus (but this number includes some doubtful taxa 

which have not (yet) been synonymised or rejected, and taxa identified only to the genus). The numbers 

in a small font refer to the African Index Muscorum region(s) in which the genus has been recorded. 

Since the publication of Grolle 1995 (1) and Wigginton & Grolle 1996 (2), thirteen generic 

names have been added to the sub-Saharan list: Apomarsupella, Aureolejeunea, Kymatocalyx, 

Mnioloma, Paracromastigum, Sphenolobopsis and Xylolejeunea included in edition 1 of this checklist, 

and Amphicephalozia, Denotarisia, Pellia, Plicanthus, Sauteria and Southbya in the present edition. 

Capillolejeunea and Stenorrhipis have been placed in synonymy, Folioceros recognised at generic 

level, and Hyalolepidozia, which was removed in edition 1 of this checklist, is reinstated.

The checklist is in alphabetical order of taxon name, with current names shown in bold face italic font. 

Names placed in synonymy are indented and shown in a smaller font, together with the owning taxon. 

For synonymies, an = sign is used throughout, no distinction being made between nomenclatural and 

taxonomic synonyms. Taxa marked as 'Dubia' are those that have been reported from sub-Saharan Africa, 

but are now considered either to be of doubtful occurrence in the area, or are doubtfully distinct. 

Taxa marked as 'Excludenda' are those that have been recorded from the area, but are now either excluded 

from the African list, or the records referred to other taxa. These doubtful and excluded taxa are 

shown in a smaller font. 

Explanatory notes are appended to selected taxa, especially where there has been an amendment to the 

distribution given in (1) and (2). Except for Jovet-Ast, the authorities of names follow Brummitt & 

Powell 1992 (166), with post-1992 author names following the same rules, including the suppression 

of spaces between initials and surname. 

The countries in which each current taxon has been recorded are denoted by 3-character abbreviations, 

which follow Hollis & Brummitt 1992 (539), with few exceptions. The name of the country and the 

Index Muscorum region to which it is assigned is shown in Appendix 2. The countries are given in 

alphabetic order of the abbreviation and not of the country name, which means that some names are 

slightly out of sequence - for example, Mauritius (MAU) being listed before Madagascar (MDG). 

However, the alphabetic arrangement of abbreviations makes it easier to 'read' the checklist. Literature


references are given in brackets after each country abbreviation, and are translated in the References 

and Literature sections following this alphabetic list.

Mastigophora africana var. annobonensis S.W.Arnell 1956, nom. inval. probably = Mastigophora diclados 

(Brid. ex F.Weber) Nees 1838. M. africana was synonymised with M. diclados by Grolle (847), and it is likely the 

records of var. annobonensis cited by Arnell (813) belong to M. diclados.

Metzgeria allanii Steph. 1917 = Metzgeria leptoneura Spruce 1885 (768). 

Metzgeria allionii Steph. 1917. The collections reported by Kuwahara (769) from Malawi probably belong to M.

Metzgeria attenuata Steph. 1916 = Metzgeria consanguinea Schiffn. 1893 (767). 

Metzgeria australis Steph. 1889 = Metzgeria leptoneura Spruce 1885 (729). The entry of M. australis into the 

African checklist seems to have arisen because Kuwahara (624) placed the African taxa M. thomeensis and M. madagassa 

in synonymy with it. 

Metzgeria borneensis Kuwah. 1965 = Metzgeria leptoneura Spruce 1885 (771). M. borneensis was erroneously 

recorded from Madagascar (1000). The collection should presumably be referred to M. leptoneura Spruce. 

Metzgeria brunnthaleri Steph. 1913 = Metzgeria nudifrons Steph. 1892 (167).

Metzgeria convexa Vanden Berghen 1951 = Metzgeria consanguinea Schiffn. 1893 (767). 

Metzgeria corralensis Steph. 1899. The presence of this species in Africa is doubtful, and the collection from South 

Africa cited by Kuwahara (769) probably belongs to M. quadrifaria Steph. (767). 

Metzgeria crassipilis (Lindb.) A.Evans BUR(767), MLW(767), TAN(2), UGA(767), ZAI(767). Metzgeria 

propagulifera was reported from TAN in Bizot & Pócs 1974 (136), and although the collection was not mentioned in 

So 2004 (767), it should presumably be assigned to M. crassipilis.

GHA(2), IVO(2), MOZ(2), NGA(2), RIM(10), RWA(2) and SEY(4), but collections from these countries were not 

examined by So (767). She pointed out that many collections deposited in various herbaria and annotated as M. thomeensis, 

belong either to M. furcata or M. madagassa.

Metzgeria violacea (Ach.) Dumort. 1835. This species has been reported from several African countries, but recent 

examination (So, 2004) has shown that many collections identified as this species are not true M. violacea. Its presence 

in Africa is therefore considered doubtful (767).

differences between the two taxa, and concluded "on present evidence" that N. decurva should be maintained. It is unclear 

whether the two taxa have been compared in sufficient detail, and for that reason Jones (1985) is followed in this checklist,

Appendix 2. Country abbreviations and numbers of taxa 

The list of geopolitical areas includes 65 countries, part-countries or islands. Country abbreviations follow Hollis 

& Brummitt 1992 (539), except for the four Gulf of Guinea islands and the Republic of South Africa, which are 

not provided with 3-letter abbreviations in the Hollis & Brummitt list. 

The abbreviations for Madagascar (MDG) and Cameroon (CMN) differ from those given in (1) and (2), and 

RIM (Rio Muni) is an additional abbreviation. RHO is adopted for former Rhodesia (Zambia + Zimbabwe) for 

one record where the location is unclear, and SEG for Senegambia (Senegal + Gambia).


The 'Group/Index Muscorum zone' indicates the Index Muscorum zone together with the group name to which it 

belongs in the 'Full name' column, if relevant. The sub-Saharan part of part of Africa-4 is designated Africa-4N 

(= North) to differentiate it from the subantarctic part (not included in this checklist). 

In the table below, the numbers of taxa excludes those marked in the main list as 'Dubia' or 'Excludenda', but 

includes taxa identified only to the genus.
