Abstract:

Plagiochila is one of the genera with the largest number of species among liverworts. A study was conducted to understand the diversity and distribution of the Plagiochila genus in Anhui Province. Based on the results of the study, there were 23 species of Plagiochila found in the region, of which seven species and one subspecies were first observed in Anhui Province. Floristic analysis showed that tropical Asian elements were the most abundant, accounting for 47.83%, and East Asian elements were the second most abundant, accounting for 34.78%. In the future, the accuracy of bryophyte identification can be further improved; meanwhile, the scope and depth of future investigations should be reinforced.

Key words: liverworts, Plagiochila, new record, Anhui Province
