Molecular phylogeny of the leafy liverwort Lejeunea (Porellales): evidence for a neotropical origin, uneven distribution of sexual systems and insufficient taxonomy.

<h4>Background</h4>Lejeunea is a largely epiphytic, subcosmopolitan liverwort genus with a complex taxonomic history. Species circumscriptions and their relationships are subject to controversy; biogeographic history and diversification through time are largely unknown.<h4>Methodol...

Lejeunea were monoicous and 7 dioicous. Within L. subg. Crossotolejeunea, 15 of the 46 investigated species were monoicous and 31 dioicous.

description <h4>Background</h4>Lejeunea is a largely epiphytic, subcosmopolitan liverwort genus with a complex taxonomic history.
