<i>Konstantinovia</i> Is Not Monotypic, and a New Attempt to Determine Relationships in Cephaloziellaceae–Scapaniaceae Superclade (Marchantiophyta)
The exploration of liverworts on Bering Island (the westernmost Aleutians) has revealed plants assigned to the recently described and previously monotypic <i>Konstantinovia</i>, previously known only from Yunnan Province of China, and belonging to the bigeneric Obtusifoliaceae. The colle...

| description | The exploration of liverworts on Bering Island (the westernmost Aleutians) has revealed plants assigned to the recently described and previously monotypic <i>Konstantinovia</i>, previously known only from Yunnan Province of China, and belonging to the bigeneric Obtusifoliaceae. The collected plants are described here as <i>Konstantinovia beringii</i> sp. nov. The known localities of two species of <i>Konstantinovia</i> are separated by more than 6000 km, while the presence of the genus on the Commander Islands is probably a relict. Phylogenetic examination of both collected specimens and new material from other related families resulted in the construction of a fairly well-supported phylogenetic tree for the entire Cephaloziellaceae s.l. + Scapaniaceae s.l. clade. The constructed trees have confirmed the previously stated assumption that it is necessary to segregate one more family within this superclade, described here as Oleolophoziaceae fam. nov. |
