Abstract:Based on the investigation and systematic arrangement of liverwort resources in Xinjiang, two species are identified by classical taxonomic methods: Frullania parvistipula Steph. and Frullariana muscicola Steph. Frullania parvistipula Steph.is a newly recorded species in Xinjiang. The morphology and distribution of the two species are described in detail. This record is the westernmost distribution of Frullaniaceae in China, providing a reference for the study of the relationship between global warming and biodiversity.
