(Lejeuneaceae, Marchantiophyta), a new species with moniliate ocelli from Guangxi, China.

A new ocellate liverwort species, (Lejeuneaceae), is described from Guangxi, China. The new species is similar to the neotropical in having moniliate ocelli in the leaf lobes and in general appearances but differs in having obliquely spreading leaves, obtuse to subacute leaf apex, thin-walled leaf cells with distinct trigones, shallowly bifid female bracteole apex, and numerous ocelli in its perianths. Molecular phylogeny of data from three regions (nrITS, L-F, and G) confirmed the systematic position of this new species to be sister to , well apart from the remaining members of the genus. Based on morphological and molecular evidence, sect. is proposed to accommodate and . The discovery of represents the fourth known species in with linearly arranged ocelli.
