Abstract

SummaryZhu, R.‐L., So, M. L., Cao, T. & Gao, Q.: Neurolejeunea fukiensis belongs to Cheilolejeunea (Lejeuneaceae, Hepaticae). – Taxon 48: 663‐666. 1999. – ISSN 0040‐0262.Neurolejeunea fukiensis was hitherto the only species of Neurolejeunea found in China and the whole of Asia. It is here transferred to Cheilolejeunea, primarily on account of the following diagnostic features: a narrow stem (its ventral merophytes 2 cells wide), very shortly bifid to emarginate underleaves, the absence of ocelli, an elongate second tooth and obsolete first tooth of the leaf lobule, and a distal hyaline papilla. By this transfer, Neurolejeunea becomes a New World genus.
