Taxonomy of the Genus <i>Porella</i> (Porellaceae, Marchantiophyta) on the Korean Peninsula.

ABSTRACT: This paper provides a revision of Porella in the Korean Peninsula based mostly on a study of the collections housed in the herbaria of Jeonbuk National University (JNU) using an integrative approach to systematize the liverwort, as well as a study of the types of several species and available literature sources. In total, 17 species were recorded, including six taxa (Porella acutifolia ssp. tosana, P. platyphylla, P. perrottetiana, P. pinnata, P. spinulosa, and P. subobtusa) whose identities were not confirmed with the available materials and were suspected to be recorded by mistake. Two species are described as new to science. Porella koreana sp. nov. is morphologically similar to P. caespitans and P. densifolia;
