Abstract
Capillolejeunea (Lejeuneaceae), known only from the East African Islands, is resurrected. It is characterized by and easily separated from Drepanolejeunea by the unbroken basal vitta of 3−5(−9) ocelli in leaf lobes, absence of scattered ocelli in leaf lobes, outer lateral margin of the upright underleaf lobes with a tooth, and single, unicellular tooth of the leaf lobule. The Madagascarian Drepanolejeunea geisslerae is transferred to Capillolejeunea. Capillolejeunea is the only liverwort genus endemic to Africa. A key to known species of Capillolejeunea is provided.
