Leptoscyphus revolutus (Marchantiophyta, Lophocoleaceae) sp. nov. From Ecuador Notes on the Bryophytes of Ecuador III

Abstract:

Leptoscyphus Mitten (1851: 358), a medium-sized genus of the Lophocoleaceae, is mainly distributed in tropical and temperate South America, Africa and Australasia, and is generally characterized by the brownish gametophyte colour and a laterally compressed perianth with a more or less bilabiate mouth due to the reduction of the ventral lobe (Vanderpoorten et al. 2010). 15 species are reported to occur in Ecuador (Gradstein and Benitez 2017). During revision of recent collections in the National Herbarium of Ecuador (QCNE) an undescribed species came to our attention which we here describe and illustrate.
