Summary
The first checklist of bryophytes, the first checklist of Vietnam liverworts was published by T. Pócs in 1965, including 394 species of mosses and 162 species of liverworts and hornworts (Pócs 1965). Tixier (1966a) gave a detailed account on the epiphytic vegetation (including the bryophytes) of the Central Highlands of southern Vietnam, without floristical novelties. Fifty years later, Bakalin and Nguyen (2016) published the second checklist of 301 Vietnam liverwort and hornwort species (five species of hornworts) based on 45 literature sources. Bakalin et al (2018) added 79 new records for Vietnam liverworts, in which 43 species are new to Indochina. In the same year, Shu et al (2017) revised Bakalin and Nguyen’s (2016) checklist and added 100 new records, raising the total number of Vietnam liverwort and hornwort species
