United States: a checklist for mainland Alaska

We
report 294 liverwort taxa in 267 species for the
State of Alaska, excluding the Aleutian Islands,15 taxa are listed as
doubtful and an additional 17 of the previous reports are rejected as
erroneous. The checklist is based on 417 literature references, including
monographs, regional studies, and molecular investigations. The list represents
the first compilation of liverworts from the region for over three decades. It
is likely that a number of new records remain to be reported, based on
regionally widespread species that have been recorded elsewhere. On the other
hand, it is envisaged that a number of the taxa
presented here may be synonyms of other taxa as they
are taxonomically insufficiently known.
