Eleven species are confirmed for the Russian Far East: 1 – Acrolejeunea, 1 – Cheilolejeunea, 4 – Lejeunea, 4 – Cololejeunea and 1 – Microlejeunea. All of them are reviewed in the present account, with data on distribution within the Russian Far East, morphological descriptions and figures based on materials collected in the Far East. In addition, identification keys to genera and species are provided.

Bakalin A review of Lejeuneaceae (Marchantiophyta) in the Russian Far East Lejeuneaceae are the largest family among the hepatics acounting 74 accepted genera (Zhu et al. 2019) and ca 1300 recognized species. Lejeuneaceae are characterized by termi- nal-lateral branching (Lejeunea type, rarer Frullania type, in- novations usually of the Radula type, the presence of a single archegonium in each gynoecium (Frey & Stech 2009, Grad- stein 2013). The leaves consist of three parts: a large dorsal, incubously oriented and inserted lobe, a ventral smaller lobe, called lobule, that is connected to the lobe, and a stylus that is commonly vestigial or absent. As commented by Frey & Stech (2009: 96), “more than 75% of the liverworts of tro- pical lowland forests and almost all epiphylls belong to Lejeu- neaceae”. The extraordinary speciation in this group is pro- bably connected with the Cretaceous and post-Cretaceous explosion of Angiosperms that provides new ecological niches in tropical forests (Wilson et al. 2007). The highest diversity (still poorly understood) occurs in humid tropical forests, with modern centers of speciation in Southeastern Asia and Northern South America (Frey & Stech 2009). Although the amphi-Pacific Asian region houses a high number of Lejeuneaceae taxa (more than 500 species), the Russian Far East has a very limited number of recorded species, and all of them are restricted to the southern flank of the area (with one exception for Lejeunea alaskana). Due to their peculiar appearance among other Russian Far East liverworts, confusion with other families seems to be hardly possible, with the exception of Nipponolejeunea (Jubulaceae) which, however, has ciliate leaf margins – a feature very rare in Lejeuneaceae worldwide. Lejeuneaceae did not attracted special attention of hepaticologists in the Russian Far East. The early record of Acrolejeunea sandvicensis (under Brachiolejeu- nea) was comprehensively discussed by Zerov (1965), some others were only listed (e.g. Horikawa 1940). Well known in Russia, Schljakov’s manual (1982) for the hepatics of the nor- thern USSR only included Lejeunea cavifolia (Ehrh.) Lindb. (a taxon absent in the Russian Far East as well as in the whole of the western amphi-Pacific). Within the last decades seve- ral new records of this family were published. Gambaryan (1992) listed four taxa of the family, with L. cavifolia incor- rectly identified (specimens belong to L. japonica). Potemkin (2003) recorded Cololejeunea japonica for the first time in Rus- sia. Bakalin (2007a, 2009) reviewed Cololejeunea in Russian Asia (later one more taxon was found in the Russian Far East) and Cheilolejeunea in the Russian Far East. Bakalin & Borovichev (2014) and Bakalin et al. (2012) recorded Lejeunea neelgherriana and L. alaskana as new for Russia. Some taxa were earlier reported without descriptions for the Russian Far East (e.g. Microlejeunea punctiformis, under Lejeunea ulicina (Taylor) Gottsche, Lindenb. & Nees in Bakalin 2007b). More- over, many new distributional data were collected within last several years. The latter circumstance, as well as the difficulties in identification of ‘lejeuneaceous’ materials from

    Comment.Thisspeciesiseasilyidentifieddue to its small size (even smaller than ourCololejeunea),distancedleaveswithlargelobules,regularunderleavesandpresenceof ocelliintheleaf lobebase.Thespecieswasfirstlyrecorded(Bakalin2007b)underLejeunea ulicina (Taylor)Steph., following the concept inYamada andIwatsuki (2006). However, already Zhu andSo (2001) were inclined to treat the Asianspecimensasdifferent,althoughcloselyrelatedto L. ulicina, Microlejeunea punctiformis (Lejeunea punctiformis in Zhu and So, 2001). The latterpointof viewseemsmore reasonable fromageographicalperspective.M. ulicina (T.Taylor)Steph. is restricted to easternNorthAmericaandEurope, whileM. punctiformis is anAsiantaxon.Thispointof viewwasalsoacceptedinSöderströmetal.(2016).

    Lejeuneaceae in the Russian Far East

    Themajorityof Lejeuneaceae(exceptof theaforemen-tio ned Lejeunea alaskana)arerestrictedtothesouthernflankof theRussianFarEast.Mostof themareusualcomponentof theflorainthesouthernhalf of PrimorskyTerritoryand,to a lesser extent in the southernmostKurils. The popu-lationsbetween48and54°N(whereLejeuneaceaearecon-spicuousrarity),atleastsomeof them,shouldberegardedashavingarelictnatureduetoobviousdissonanceof thosetaxawithsurroundingvegetationenvironments.Moreover,afewtaxacommonandrelativelyfrequentintemperatefo-rests, including thosewithmany evergreen trees, occur inthenorthernextremityof thearea,andnotatthelowestalti-tudeherebutevenatthehighest!Themoststrikingexampleis Cheilolejeunea obtusifolia occurring in northern-boreallarchforestsat thehighestelevations in theBadzhalMts.,together with e.g.Lejeunea alaskana and Frullania sub arc tica.This phenomenon of unexpectedly northern occurrenceof temperatetaxa isprobablysomewhatrelatedto ‘UmiatSyndrome’describedanddiscussedbySteere(1965,1976).

    The Lejeuneaceae occurring in the Russian Far East (aswellasmostof themintheworldwideflora)areverysensitivetoairmoisture(apossibleexceptionmaybeAcrolejeu nea san dvicensis).Thelattercircumstancemayexplaintheoccurrenceof manytaxamostlyoronlyinthemiddleele-vationbeltof PrimorskyandKhabarovskTerritories(thuscontinentmainland)–anareamoistenedbyPacificmon-soon (see Bakalin 2008), contrary to lower elevations insouthernmostKurils. The following examples (basing onspecimensexamined)areillustrative:1)Cheilolejeunea obtusifo lia distributed in (350–)500–1660 in the mainland and15–320ma.s.l.inSakhalinProvince;moreoverthespeciesdoesnotavoidlowerelevationsmuchsouthwardinJapan;2) Cololejeunea macounii – (350–)528–1300 m a.s.l. in themainlandversus150inKurils;3)Lejeunea japonica(35–)300–1600ma.s.l.versus120–300inKurils.

    NotabledifferencesareseenbetweenLejeuneaceaeof theinsularregionandof thecontinentalmainland.Forin-stance, theonly insular regionhousesvery sensitive toairhumidityMicrolejeunea punctiformis, a species very sensitiveto air humidity, and the Japanese (in broad sense of thisterm)endemictaxon–Lejeunea otiana.Incontrast,theonlycontinentalmainlandhousesLejeunea neelgherriana (theareaof commonfoggoingfromthesea),probablyCololejeunea subkodamae (if the report for Shikotan is incorrect), andfurthermoreC. ornata, C. japonica and Acrolejeunea sandvicensis.Thetaxarestrictedtothecontinentalmainlandseemstobemore drought tolerant than those limited by insular part.AnotherreasonthatIcanseeisthattheenvironmentsof continentalmainlandinthesouthernRussianFarEastmightbemorestableandmoreheterogeneous,andthusoffermoresuitablemicrohabitatstoaccommodatethemostlytropicalLejeuneaceaewhich,inageneralsense,arealienelementsinthemodernvegetationof theRussianFarEast.
