Kermadec Islands, Hornwort & Liverwort Flora, BiogeographyAbstract
We accept 134 taxa at species rank and below belonging to 25 families as present on the Kermadec Islands, three times the number previously reported. One liverwort, Lunularia cruciata is regarded as introduced to the islands. More than half the indigenous species of the Kermadec Islands belong to just three families, Lejeuneaceae, Lepidoziaceae and Lophocoleaceae, which are together represented by 71 species. All but 16 of the hornwort and liverwort taxa that occur on the Kermadec Islands also occur in New Zealand, reflecting strong links to the New Zealand flora via long-distance dispersal.
