Absztrakt

The liverwort genus Nowellia Mitt. was previously unknown from the Australian continent. During a collecting trip by the authors in June of 2001 throughout northern Queensland, two species were found, the Laurasian Nowellia curvifolia (Dicks.) Mitt. from the cloud forest of Bellenden Kerr summit and the Malesian-Australasian Nowellia langii Pears. from the montane forests of Cardwell Range.
